Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin past participle 'addictus', meaning 'bound to' or 'devoted to', stemming from 'addicere' (to adjudge or assign, originally a legal term where a debtor was bound over to his creditor). By the late 19th and 20th centuries, the term shifted from a general sense of being devoted to a habit to a specific medical and psychological designation for someone dependent on a substance or practice.
