Etymologie (English)

Inherited from Middelnederlands: drade

Inherited from Old Dutch:

Cognate with Oudhoogduits: drāto

Cognate with Engels: throw

Cognate with Duits: drehen

In summary

From Middle Dutch drade, from Old Dutch [Term?], from Proto-West Germanic [Term?]. cognates include Old High German drāto (“quickly, suddenly, violently, intensely”) and its adjectival counterpart drāti; ultimately all derive from the same root to which draaien (“to turn”) (English throw, German drehen (“to turn”)) belongs.
