Etymology 1

[edit]

The noun is fromMiddle Englishjoynt (attested since the late 13th century), fromOld Frenchjoint(“joint of the body”) (attested since the 12th century). The adjective (attested since the 15th century) is fromOld Frenchjointiz. Both Old French words are fromLatiniūnctus, the past participle ofiungō. See alsojoin,jugular,junction. Partially displacedEnglishlith.

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 formjunt and the Mid-Atlantic/Philadelphian formjawn.
