Etymology

Inherited from Middle Dutch: droppel

In summary

From Middle Dutch droppel, druppel. Equivalent to drop or drup + -el. 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).
