Etymology
Drug-addicted combines drug and addicted, and addicted comes from an old Latin idea meaning 'given over' to something and 'bound' by it, which you can also see in the word addiction. So a drug-addicted person is someone who is 'given over' to drugs and finds they 'cannot stop' using them.
