Etymology
1. Borrowed from Proto-West Germanic *drakō, analog to Old West Norse dreki. The form found as Old Swedish draki in Codex Bureanus (14th c.). Compare Old Danish draghæ. The word is expected to have entered the Old Norse language fairly early, since the West Norse form dreki shows signs of prolonged development with the e-vowel. Regarding palatal umlaut in West Norse, compare Old Swedish saghi to Old Icelandic segi (“a slice, bit, clot”).
2. Cognates Old English draca, dræce, Old High German trache, Middle Low German drake. See: Old English Nouns '
draca'.
