Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *drumós, Proto-Indo-European *drumós, from the same root as of δόρυ (dóru, tree), δρῦς (drûs, oak), and δροόν (droón, strong). The length of the vowel (ū) is taken analogically from δρῦς (drûs).[1] Cognate with Proto-Germanic *trumaz, Sanskrit द्रुम (druma), Russian дром (drom).
