Russian
Etymology
Per Vasmer, perhaps ultimately from imitative Proto-Indo-European *dʰrēu- (“to drone”), ultimately related to Sanskrit ध्रणति (dhráṇati, “to sound”), Old Irish drésacht (“crackling, noise”), German trensen (“to make a prolonged moo”), Dutch drenzen (“to moan”), Ancient Greek θρῆνος (thrênos, “lamentation for the deceased”), Gothic 𐌳𐍂𐌿𐌽𐌾𐌿𐍃 (drunjus, “sound”), English drone, Old Prussian droanse (“corncrake”). Per Vasmer, the singular is дрязг (drjazg) (and Ushakov notes a rare genitive plural дря́згов (drjázgov)); the cognates given above suggest a Proto-Slavic *dręzgъ.
