Origin

Mid 16th century: from French, or from medieval Latin assassinus, from Arabic ḥašīšī 'hashish-eater'.

During the Crusades political and religious leaders were targeted for murder by a fanatical sect of Ismaili Muslims led by Hassan-i-Sabbah, known as the ‘Old Man of the Mountains’. Members of the sect were said to prepare themselves for these deeds by smoking or chewing hashish or cannabis, and were accordingly known in Arabic as hasīsī, ‘hashish-eaters’, which was filtered through French and eventually became our word assassin.
