The answer
JOINT
What joint means
A place where two or more things are connected or fitted together, or a marijuana cigarette.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *jointe*, past participle of *joindre* "to join," which comes from Latin *iungere* "to yoke or join together." The Latin root likely descended from Proto-Indo-European *yeug-*, the same root that gave English "yoke." Originally the word referred to a point where two things are united; by extension it came to mean a tavern or nightclub where people gather.
