Here's the breakdown:
* Addicere (Latin): meaning "to bind, to devote, to attribute, to condemn"
* Addictus (Latin): meaning "bound, devoted, condemned"
* Addiction (English): adopted from the Latin "addictus" and originally meant "a state of being bound or enslaved"
While the word "addiction" has evolved over time, its core meaning still relates to being bound to something, whether it's a substance, behavior, or even a person.
