Proto-Germanic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *dʰreb- (“to grind; crush; kill”), attested only in Northern PIE (Germanic and Balto-Slavic). Likely cognate with Lithuanian drėbti (“to strike”), Latvian drêbt (“to beat”).

Due to the *p, which otherwise points to a dubious PIE *b, Kroonen[1] assumes that ultimately the verb is a back-formation from the iterative Proto-Germanic *drappōną of Proto-Germanic *drabaną (“to hew”).
