What Does This Mean?
Spanish pronominal verb meaning to get hooked on something, in gaming slang especially a video game one plays compulsively ("me vicié a este juego"). The related noun is "vicio" and the colloquial adjective "viciado"; the wider dictionary sense is to pick up bad habits.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He played one match and got so hooked that he now says "me vicié" to that game."
LORE & ORIGIN
Spanish Wiktionary lists three senses of "viciarse": to acquire bad habits, to become addicted to something (its example is a child who plays too much Nintendo and gets hooked), and, for an object, to warp out of shape. It derives from the verb "viciar" plus the reflexive "se". The gaming use is a specific application of the addiction sense, and no dated first use of that use is documented. The existing entry "viciao" covers the colloquial spelling of the participle.
