Word with wonder or designer

I believe the answer is:

drug

(Other definitions for drug that I've seen before include "Substance used as medicine or narcotic" , "may be soft or hard" , "Maybe addictive substance" , "Tranquillize" , "Medicinal substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
