Etimologie (Engels)

Seemingly from Middle Low German and/or Middle Dutch drillen. The verb may have existed in Middle High German, but only a strong past participle gedrollen (“round”) is attested. The Upper German dialects have a verb trillen, which is probably a variant of drillen (compare Dutch drillen and trillen; English thrill and trill).
