Initially, the term narcotic referred to any psychoactive substance capable of inducing sleep. In the US, the term became particularly associated with opium and all the medications derived from opium. That would include morphine, heroin, codeine, and hydrocodone. The legal definition of narcotic may include nearly any substance that is classified as an illegal drug.
In short, the most commonly used definition for narcotic in modern terms is any opioid-based painkiller.
