Etymology

Drogat is the past participle of the verb a droga, meaning to drug or to dope someone. The verb was borrowed from French droguer, itself built on the noun drogue (drug). French drogue likely came from Middle Dutch droge (waren), literally dry goods, a term once applied loosely to various trade substances including medicinal ones. The Romanian ending -at simply marks it as a past participle, matching the pattern of Latin-derived -atus adjectives.
