Etymology edit

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *drǫčiti, the soft "р" is probably of expressive origin, compare дрюк (drjuk) and друк (druk), from Proto-Slavic *drǫkъ. By surface analysis, дрюк (drjuk) +‎ -ить (-itʹ). Cognate with Russian удручи́ть (udručítʹ), Old Church Slavonic оудрѫчити (udrǫčiti), Polish dręczyć. Doublet of дручи́ть (dručítʹ).

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): [ˈdrʲʉt͡ɕɪtʲ]
