[Joint]
** English
[joint (disambiguation)]
*** Etymology
[en] The noun is from [en] (attested since the late 13th century), from [en]
(attested since the 12th century). The adjective (attested since the 15th
century) is from [fro]. Both Old French words are from [en], the past
participle of [la]. See also [en], [en].
The meaning of "building, establishment", especially in connection with shady
activities, appeared in Anglo-Irish by 1821 and entered general American
English slang by 1877, especially in the sense of "opium den". The sense
"marijuana cigarette" is attested since 1935. The development to meaning "any
thing" also happened to the Scots and Memphian form [en] and the
Mid-Atlantic/Philadelphian form [en].
