Ultimately from a blend of Proto-Germanic *druknaz and *drūgiz, whose dialectal border runs close to Luxembourg. In the Middle High German dialects underlying Luxembourgish, the former yielded drucken [ˈdrukːən], while the latter yielded drǖge [ˈdryːɣə]. These forms then influenced each other and (perhaps through intermediates like *drücken vs. *drǖgen) ultimately merged into *drüchen.
From Proto-Germanic *druknaz are German trocken, Yiddish טרוקן (trukn). From Proto-Germanic *drūgiz are Central Franconian drüch, drei(ch), Limburgish druug, English dry. From a third variant *draugiz are Dutch droog, Low German dröög. All mean “dry”.
