In summary

From Middle Dutch drope (“drop”), from Old Dutch dropo, from Proto-Germanic *drupô. When unsuffixed, drop is more common than drup, but suffixed druppel is more common than droppel; this is likely due to the effects of i-umlaut triggered by the suffix -el. Indeed, drup is assumed to be based on druppel, as drop is the linguistically expected form (Germanic *u becomes Dutch o). The sense “licorice” developed from the sense “drop of licorice extract”; compare also English lemon drop.
