Definitions

  1. A kind of cannabis smoked in Morocco and Algeria, for narcotic or intoxicating effect.

Word origin

From Moroccan Arabic كيف (kīf, “opiate”), from Arabic كَيْف (kayf, “joy”).

Used in a sentence

  • The kief, which is the flower and seeds of the plant, is the strongest, and a pipe of it half the size of a common English tobacco-pipe, is sufficient to intoxicate.
  • I perceived the odour of kif, and recognised the voices of Selam the Second, Abd-el-Rhaman, and others; it was an Arab orgie in full swing.
  • The trade goods – Persian rugs, salt, muskets, kif – trailed out behind them over the dunes, still lashed to the backs of rotting animals.
