Origin of the word dank

The word "dank" has a fascinating history! The term originated in the mid-17th century, derived from the Middle English word "danc", which means "mouldy" or "humid". In those times, a damp or moldy smell was often referred to as "dank". Over time, the word evolved to encompass a broader meaning, describing a musty or stale atmosphere. In the late 1970s, the counterculture movement revived the term, adopting it to describe a cannabis-infused atmosphere or the taste of high-quality marijuana, often associated with underground clubs and raves. Today, the word "dank" is commonly used in cannabis culture to describe the pungent aroma and taste of strong pot, as well as the overall vibe or atmosphere in which it's enjoyed.
