Etymology

Inherited from Danish drage, from Proto-West Germanic *drakō (either through Middle Low German drāke or through a hypothetical eastern Old Norse *draki corresponding to western dreki). Further from Latin draco, from Ancient Greek δράκων (drákōn). One of the fairly rare cases in which a form with lenited Danish b, d, g has persisted in Bokmål (the Norwegianized form drake remaining less common). See: Danish Nouns 'drage', Danish Nouns 'drage', Latin Nouns 'draco', Ancient Greek Nouns 'δράκων'.
