The earliest occurrences of the word are from the North of England and Scotland, which suggests a possible borrowing from, or influence of, Old Norse drukna ‘be drowned’; this came ultimately from Germanic *drungk-, a variant of the base which produced English drink.=> drench, drinkdrown (v.)c. 1300, transitive and intransitive, perhaps from an unrecorded derivative word of Old English druncnian (Middle English druncnen) "be swallowed up by water" (originally of ships as well as living things), probably from the base of drincan "to drink." Modern form is from northern England dialect, probably influenced by Old Norse drukna "be drowned." Related: Drowned; drowning." |
