Étymologie (Anglais)

Borrowed from Middle Low German drȫge (“dry”), from Old Saxon *drōgi, from Proto-Germanic *draugiz.
Also a Central German form; compare Ripuarian drüch, Luxembourgish dréchen (“dry”). Related to Upper German trocken and, in early modern German, used as a mere dialectal variant of it. In the contemporary sense reintroduced via German Low German (19th century). Cognate with dry and Dutch droog.
