verb · Weak class 1

Meanings

to pull; yank; tug; tease
to irritate

Etymology

Apparently from a Proto-Indo-European *dorgʰ-éye-ti, probably from *derHgʰ- (‘to pull, tug, irritate’), and cognate with Lithuanian di̇̀rginti (‘to irritate’), Proto-Slavic *dьrgati (‘to pull, jerk, comb’), though Kroonen rejects connections to the Balto-Slavic and leaves the origin open.
