Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain. Commonly explained as descending from Proto-Indo-European *dʰreh₂gʰ- (to stir up)[1], from which also descend Sanskrit द्राघते (drāghate, to torment) and English dreccan (to torture) (from Proto-Germanic *drakjaną). Derksen, however, doubts this derivation[2] because of the conflicting intonation within Russian.

An alternative reconstruction is from Proto-Slavic *dra- (to skin, to tear) + *-ž- + *-iti[3], ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *der- (to tear) (cf Proto-Slavic *draskati (to scratch) and Proto-Slavic *drāpàti (to pluck)).
