Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrógʰ-e/o-, from an o-grade form of root *dʰregʰ- (‘to pull, draw, drag’). Disputed cognates include Ancient Greek τρέχω (trékhō) (trékhō, ‘to run; run over’), Old Armenian: դուրգն (durgn, ‘potter's wheel’), Proto-Slavic: *droga (‘rail, shaft (of cart)’), and Latin trahō (‘to drag, pull’) (Orel 1998 and 2003; see also Ringe 2014 and Schrijver 1991). Related to *drahtuz (‘pulling, carrying’) and *drōgiz (‘drawing, pulling, able to be drawn’).
