Surface Forms

hopped-up positive

Morphology

hopped-up = hop + up (opaque) = hop + up + ed

Although formed from 'hop' + 'up' + '-ed', the slang meaning 'intoxicated' is idiomatic and not derivable from the literal components.

Etymology

Hopped-up as slang can be remembered from hop ('to jump' or 'be excited') plus up ('high'), a bit like saying someone is 'pumped up'. A helpful way to remember it is that hopped-up means someone is made excited or 'high' by drugs, which is why it describes being on drugs.
