英语词汇marijuana的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

marijuana. Cannabis sativa goes by some 200 names in prac- tically every language throughout the world, including pot, grass, seed, weed, tea, dope, reefers, joints, and Texas tea. But the hemp plant’s crushed leaves, flowers, and, sometimes, twigs, are best known as marijuana. The word comes from the Span- ish prenomens Maria and Juana, translating as Maryjane, and no one knows why. The Chinese used Cannabis at least 5,000 years ago, and George Washington is said to have grown it at Mount Vernon—for the rope produced from the hemp. One hundred years ago, according to the National Institute of Men- tal Health, “extracts of Cannabis were as commonly used for medicinal purposes in the United States as aspirin today.” See pothead.
