krokodil

From the Russian крокоди́л (krokodíl, “crocodile”), because of its damaging effects on the skin, possibly related to the chemical name of the precursor α-chlorocodide. Doublet of crocodile.

krokodil (uncountable)

1. (slang) The drug desomorphine.
   • 2016, Simon Shuster, Time magazine‎^[1]:

     But other synthetic drugs, such the ones known in the streets as bath salts, now dominate the market in Russia, while the most common sign of krokodil is the quiet devastation it has left behind.

From Dutch krokodil, from Middle Dutch crocodil, from Latin crocodīlus, from Ancient Greek κροκόδειλος (krokódeilos).
