Этимология (Английский)

Унаследовано от среднеанглийский: drysning

Унаследовано от староанглийский: drysnan

Родственно староанглийский: drēosan

Родственно шведский: drösla

In summary

Perhaps a back-formation from dryseling, a dissimilated variant of Middle English drysning (“a falling of dew”), from Old English drysnan (“to extinguish”), related to Old English drēosan (“to fall, to decline”), making it cognate to modern English droze and drowse. Compare also dialectal Swedish drösla.
