banga
大麻
解説 Definition
大麻。この言葉は俗語であり、幻覚性物質を指す。
A regional or slang term for cannabis or an intoxicating preparation made from it. Its exact reference and familiarity vary by community, so it is less neutral and less universally understood than standard terms such as cannabis.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
banga は地域限定の俗語として大麻を指し、標準的で広く通じる cannabis や marijuana とは使用域が異なる。サンスクリット語・ヒンディー語系の bhang「大麻製品・飲料」と関連付け、banga use、risks associated with banga、legal consequences のように薬物使用を論じる文脈で覚える。
Connect banga with bhang, the better-known South Asian word for a cannabis preparation, while remembering that banga is a regional or slang form rather than a universally standard English term. Learn it in contextual phrases such as banga use, slang terms for banga, health risks, and legal consequences. These combinations signal that the word refers to cannabis or an intoxicating product made from it. Do not assume that every speaker will recognize the term or that it names exactly the same preparation in every region; cannabis is the clearer neutral term in formal English.

banga の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ヒンディー語・サンスクリット語 bhāṅg（भांग）に由来し、大麻草を指す。インドでは古くから宗教儀式や伝統医療で用いられた。関連語: bhang（大麻飲料）、cannabis（カンナビス）。東南アジアやアフリカの諸言語にも借用され、banga の形で広まった。
Banga is associated with South Asian forms represented by Hindi bhāṅg and Sanskrit bhaṅgā, words referring to hemp or preparations made from cannabis. Bhang became especially established for a traditional Indian cannabis preparation, including drinks. Related forms were borrowed into languages in parts of Asia and Africa, where spelling, pronunciation, and reference could change. Because banga has several regional uses, its precise route into any particular variety of English should not be asserted without local evidence.
