"etymology_text": "From Middle English drane, from Old English drān, from Proto-West Germanic *drānu, from Proto-Germanic *drēniz, *drēnuz, *drenô (“an insect, drone”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrēn- (“bee, drone, hornet”).\nCognate with:\n* Dutch dar (“male bee or wasp”),\n* Low German drone (“drone”),\n* German Drohne, dialectal German Dräne, Trehne, Trene (“drone”),\n* Danish drone (“drone”),\n* Swedish drönje, drönare (“drone”).\nThe etymology of the sense of \"remote-controlled aircraft\" is disputed; theories include early military UAVs dumbly flying on preset paths.",
