Etymology 1

From Hindustani دَھتُورَہ (dhatūra) / धतूरा (dhatūrā), itself borrowed from Sanskrit धत्तूर (dhattūra, “white thorn-apple”); possibly through the related Arabic دَاتُورَة (dātūra), as first attested in 1599.[1]

Sense 2 is most likely by association with the plant's effects when consumed.
