German

Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *þrukjaną (“to press”), *þrūganą (“to threaten”), from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *trūk-, *trūg- (“to press, beat”). Cognate with Dutch drukken (“to press, print”), Danish trykke (“to press”), English thrutch (“to throng”) and, outside Germanic, with Albanian ndryqem (“to stretch”). Closely cognate with German drücken (“to press, push”): drucken is originally the southern form; the first German printers were in the south.
