Etymonline
Word Origin & History
dope
1807, Amer.Eng., "sauce, gravy," from Du. doop "thick dipping sauce." Extension to "drug" is 1889, from practice of smoking semi-liquid opium preparation. Meaning "foolish, stupid person" is older (1851) and may have a sense of "thick-headed." Sense of "inside information" (1901) may come from knowing
EXPANDbefore the race which horse had been drugged to influence performance. Related: Doped; doping. Dope-fiend is attested from 1896.
