Origin Late 19th century: from German Heroin, from Latin heros 'hero' (because of its effects on the user's self-esteem). The similarity in spelling between heroin and hero (Middle English) is not accidental. The name of the drug is a German word formed in the late 1890s from Latin heros ‘hero’, in reference to its effects, for the feelings of euphoria it can produce meant that in early tests users reported that they felt ‘heroic’. Hero itself in an early Greek word.
