Origin: IE [Indo-European] [214] doru, gen. dreus `wood, tree'

Etymology: Apart from the vowel length, which follows from the feminine gender (Wackernagel l. c.), δρῦς is identical with Skt. dru- `wood' e. g. in dru-ṣád- `sitting on wood (on a tree)', su-drú- `of good wood'. Other cognates are: OCS drъva n. pl. `wood', Alb. dru f. (\< *druu̯ā) `wood, tree', Germ., e. g. Goth. triu \< PGm. *treu̯a-, IE *dreu̯-o-. - The feminine δρῦς (after other tree names, cf. Wackernagel Syntax 2, 17) from the oblique case-forms of the word for `wood', Gr. δόρυ, Skt. dā́ru (gen. drú-ṇ-aḥ and dró-h). (Janda Stock und Stein assumes a collective * druh₂- (with -s in the nom.). The meaning `fest, strong', in Greek seen in δροόν ἰσχυρόν (s. v.), is frequent in Germ., e. g. OE trum `fest, strong, healthy' (formally = δρῠμά `wood', Skt. druma- `tree'), Goth. triggws (\< *treu̯u̯a-, IE *dreu(u̯)-o-) `true'. The meaning `wood' is the most frquent, and will be original, s. esp. Osthoff Etym. parerga 1, 169f. Specht KZ.66, 58f., Benveniste Word 10, 257ff. start from an adj. `hard, fest'. - See Lat. dūrus.
