to hit
Etymology
A zero-grade iterative of *drabaną (‘to hit, hew’). It is also the source of *drepaną (‘to hit, strike’) via back-formation. From earlier paradigm *druppōþi ~ *drubunanþi, from pre-Germanic *dʰr̥bʰ-néh₂-ti ~ *dʰr̥bʰ-n̥h₂-énti, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrebʰ- (‘to grind; crush; kill’). Cognate with Proto-Slavic *drobìti (‘to crumble, crush’).
