Dialectal forms: (dial. sometimes also m., s. Schwyzer-Debrunner 37 n. 2). Myc. durutomo \/ dru-tomoi\/.

Compounds: See s.v. ἄδρυα, ἁμάδρυα, γεράνδρυον, ἔνδρυον καρδία δένδρου, καὶτὸ μέσαβον H; μελάνδρυα also `slices of tunny'

Derivatives: δρύϊνος `oaken' (Od.), δρυΐνᾱς name of a snake, living in oaks (Nic.); δρυΐτης kind of cypress (Thphr.), name of a precious stone (Plin.; cf. Redard Les noms grecs en - της 71 and 54); Δρυάς `Dryade, tree-nymphe' (Plu.), also name of a snake (Androm. ap. Gal.; cf. δρυΐνας); thematic lengthening in δρύου gen. `bush' ( POxy. 7, 1044, [7]; 8; 12, II-III<sup>p</sup>); but the thematic finals in μελάν-δρυ-ον `heart-wood', ἔν-δρυ-ον `oaken peg' (Hes.

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.
