Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Feminine of the sparsely attested *dripъ +‎ *-a, most likely derived from Pre-Slavic *driti (“to tow, to pluck”) +‎ *-pъ, either continuing Proto-Indo-European *drey- (“to tear off, to pluck”) or Proto-Indo-European *dʰrey- (“to tow, to drive”) (or both). ESSJa suggests a native Slavic origin and excludes direct relation to possible cognates such as Ancient Greek θρίψ (thríps, “thrips”), Proto-Germanic *drībaną (“to drive, to propel”).

Noun

*dripa f

  1. rupture
  2. rag, tatter
