1625, of uncertain origin:

• Perhaps from Arabic ضَرَبَ (ḍaraba, “to beat, hit”),

• or perhaps originally from a dialectal word (Kent) drab, variant of drop, dryp, drib (“to beat”), from 中期英語 drepen (preterit drop, drap, drape (“struck, killed”)) from 古期英語 drepan (“to strike”), from Proto-West Germanic *drepan, from Proto-Germanic *drepaną (“to beat, bump, strike, slay”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰreb⁽ʰ⁾- (“to strike, crush, kill”).

• Linguist Guus Kroonen suggests that it reflects the Proto-Germanic verb *drubbōną, iterative to *drabaną (“to hit, hew”), as found in Norwegian drubba (“to fall over”).

Akin to Old Frisian drop (“a blow, beat”), Old High German treffan (“to hit”), Old Norse drepa (“to strike, slay, kill”). Compare also dub. More at drape.
