Etymology edit
Inherited from Middle French, from Old French draper (“to drape", also, "to full cloth”), from drap (“cloth, drabcloth”), from Late Latin drappus, drapus (“drabcloth, kerchief”), a word first recorded in the Capitularies of Charlemagne, probably from Old Low Frankish *drap, *drāp- (“that which is fulled, drabcloth”)[1] from Proto-Germanic *drap-, *drēp- (“something beaten”), from *drepaną (“to beat, strike”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰreb- (“to beat, crush, make or become thick”).[2] Cognate with English drub (“to beat”), Low German drapen, dräpen (“to strike”).
