θρῆνος

See also: θρήνος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Compare Sanskrit ध्रणति (dhráṇati, “to sound”), Latin drēnsō, and Old English drān (English drone). It is difficult to say whether the relationship is coincidentally onomatopoeic or genetic. Could also be from θρέομαι (thréomai, “I cry aloud, shriek”). Beekes argues for a Pre-Greek origin.
