Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ʔ-(d/g)rup (“to sew”). Cognate with Tibetan འདྲུབ་ ('drub, “idem”) (STEDT khyup "sew, bind; confine; cut off; imprison; control, rule").
The other senses, such as "confine", "control", and "summarize", are all considered equivalent to the "sew" sense by MED, as a form of "binding".
