The term "pot" as a slang for marijuana is believed to have originated from the Spanish term "potiguaya," which is a combination of "pot" (short for "potation," meaning a drink) and "guaya" (referring to the cannabis plant). It gained popularity in the U.S. during the mid-20th century, particularly among jazz musicians and the counterculture movement. The term has since become widely recognized and used in various contexts related to cannabis.
