Etymology
Likely from a pre-Germanic masculine *-yu-s derivative, *dhrn̥-yú-s, built from the zero grade *dhrn̥- of an extended Proto-Indo-European root *dʰren- ‘to rumble, drone’, built from an unattested y-present, *dʰrn̥-yé/ó- ‘to rumble, drone’ (for the *-yu-s derivative, see Brugmann 1906). Related to *drēnuz (‘male bee or wasp; drone’) and *drenô (‘male bee or wasp; drone’).
