In summary

From Middle High German drüese, alongside druose, druos, from Old High German druos (“swelling, swollen gland”). The gender and stem form of the Old High German are uncertain. It was probably a masculine, so the later forms in -e continue plural forms. Alternatively (or additionally) it may have been a feminine i-stem, in which case drüese continues the plural and oblique singular; druose (whence the doublet Druse) would be a compromise form. Cognate with Old Saxon thrōs. Compare English dross.
