Etymology: < classical Latin cannabis hemp (in scientific Latin also as a genus name: Linnæus Species plantarum (1753) II. 1027) < ancient Greek κάνναβις , in the same sense, probably a loanword, although the precise donor language is unclear (compare discussion at hemp n.).Post-classical Latin variants of classical Latin cannabis include: cannabum (5th cent.), cannabus, canapus, cannapus (6th cent.), canava (9th cent.), cannavus (in an undated text cited in Du Cange).

Compare also the following early use of the post-classical Latin phrase cannave silvatica, lit. ‘wild cannabis’ (compare cannabis silvatica (4th cent.)), in an English context:OE tr. Pseudo-Apuleius Herbarium (Hatton) (O.E.D. transcript) (1984) cxvi. 158 Ðeos wyrt þe man cannaue siluatica & oðrum naman hænep nemneð bið cænned on wiðerrædum stowum & wið wegas & hegas. Wið þara breosta sare genim þas wyrte cannauem siluaticam gecnocode mid rysle, lege to þam breostum.
