/dɹəʊn/

From Middle English drane, from Old English drān, from Proto-West Germanic *drānu, from Proto-Germanic *drēniz, *drēnuz, *drenô (“an insect, drone”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrēn- (“bee, drone, hornet”). Cognate with: * Dutch dar (“male bee or wasp”), * Low German drone (“drone”), * German Drohne, dialectal German Dräne, Trehne, Trene (“drone”), * Danish drone (“drone”), * Swedish drönje, drönare (“drone”). The etymology of the sense of "remote-controlled aircraft" is disputed; theories include early military UAVs dumbly flying on preset paths.
