Etymology
Cocaine comes from the name of the coca plant, whose leaves are used to make the drug. The ending -ine is a common chemical ending meaning 'related to' or 'made from', so cocaine is literally 'the chemical from coca', which explains why the word refers to a powerful substance doctors sometimes use to numb an area and others use illegally to feel very alert.
