Origin:
The word "drab" originally referred to a color, beginning with its Old English sense of "cloth." This term likely emerged from the fact that common clothing during that time was often made of unbleached wool, which imparted a dull, grayish hue. Over time, the word was used to describe not only that shade but also anything else that was lackluster or unimpressive. Its negative connotation evolved further to encompass the meanings of "uninteresting" and "destitute."
