Συγγενές με Καταλανικά: dragar

In summary

From Vulgar Latin *tragāre, possibly from Doric Greek τράγω (trágō), in which case cognate with Attic Greek τρώγω (trṓgō, “to eat, to swallow”). Alternatively, Coromines suggests an origin ultimately in dracō (“dragon”), via an attested tracō (“underground cavern”), in the sense of "that which swallows [things] up". Cognate with Catalan dragar, Aragonese, Galician, and Spanish tragar.
