Nguồn gốc từ

Since the 1890s, by genericization from German Heroin, originally a trademark, from Ancient Greek ἥρως (hero) and the suffix -in (-ine). Said to have been called thus to evoke quick and sweeping effect as a painkiller and cough suppressant (its original uses). Alternatively explained as a reference to the heroic school of medicine.
