"Draht" meaning in German

See Draht in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /dʁaːt/ Audio: De-Draht.ogg
Rhymes: -aːt Etymology: From Middle High German drāt (“wire, thread”), from Old High German drāt, thrāt, from Proto-West Germanic *þrādu, from Proto-Germanic *þrēduz, from Proto-Indo-European *treh₁-tu-, from *terh₁- (“rub, twist”). Related with drehen (“to turn, twist”), with which it was still associated in early modern German, as is proved by the insertion of the lengthening -h- (which is only used before sonorants or stem-finally). Cognate with Dutch draad, Low German Draat, English thread, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish tråd, Icelandic þráður.

  "etymology_text": "From Middle High German drāt (“wire, thread”), from Old High German drāt, thrāt, from Proto-West Germanic *þrādu, from Proto-Germanic *þrēduz, from Proto-Indo-European *treh₁-tu-, from *terh₁- (“rub, twist”). Related with drehen (“to turn, twist”), with which it was still associated in early modern German, as is proved by the insertion of the lengthening -h- (which is only used before sonorants or stem-finally). Cognate with Dutch draad, Low German Draat, English thread, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish tråd, Icelandic þráður.",
