词汇	strung-out
词源	strung-out. From its early use as a term for out-of-tune mu- sical instruments—that is, harps or other stringed instruments with their strings removed or relaxed—strung-out came to be applied to a human body weakened and unnerved, a strung- out person being someone, usually a drug user, whose nerves and muscles have lost their natural tension and have no tone. The figurative use is an old one, too, dating back to at least the late 17th century.
