Where this word comes from

Unknown. Possibly borrowed from Gaulish. Draucus and Drauca are also attested as personal names. Nikolaev takes it from Proto-Italic *drawikos (formed similarly to modicus and bellicus), from Proto-Indo-European *drowóm (“strength”) (compare Ancient Greek δροόν (droón)), from *drew- (“strong, firm”), with syncope as seen in Latin auceps. But Proto-Indo-European *dr is thought to have become tr in Latin (compare amtruō, citrus, lutra, uter, and vitrum). A similar derivation may still be possible through Gaulish.
