Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrēn- (“drone; to murmur”), like English drone and Latin drensō (“to cry (of swans)”). However, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin, comparing the word with ἀνθρηδών (anthrēdṓn, “hornet”), ἀνθρήνη (anthrḗnē, “bee, wasp”) and τενθρηδών (tenthrēdṓn, “kind of wasp”).
