Etymology
Drugging starts with drug, a word that probably came from an old name for 'dry' goods sold by early medicine sellers to mean small medicines. So, to drug someone is to give them such a medicine, and drugging is the act of giving a drug, often without the person's knowledge to make them sleepy or weak.
