stonedとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From 中期英語 stoned (simple past) and stoned, istoned (past participle), equivalent to stone +‎ -ed.

The etymology for the sense of "exhilarated, intoxicated by substances", which originated in American English in the mid-20th century, is not fully clear. It could be derived from stone drunk, a common slang expression from the mid-19th to early-20th century. It is more frequently theorized to be a phono-semantic matching of Italian-American slang stunod (“dazzled, stupid”), from Italian stonato (“out of tune, off-key”). In 1952, Life Magazine listed it in a glossary of bop musician slang, in the sense of "drunk, captivated, ecstatic, sent out of this world" (see quote). This could lend further credence to the idea of the word originating from a musical term.

     “Man, that Jo-Jo!” Benny said. “He’s stoned all the time.”
     “What’s he on—horse?” Riccio asked, meaning heroin.
     “Who knows with that creep?” Benny said. I asked Benny if any special kind of boy went in for dope.
     “The creeps,” he said. “You know, the goofballs.” He searched for a word. “The weak kids. Like Jo-Jo. There ain’t nothing the guys can’t do to him. Last week, we took his pants off and made him run right in the middle of the street without them.”
