Etymology 2

From the root د ر ب (d-r-b). Possibly these verbs are all denominally formed from دَرْب (darb), since Derbe was a town to be passed for those who were drilled for war against the Greeks. The same even applies to Spain, the Pyrenees being called الدُرُوب (ad-durūb), to be passed for war against the Franks.
