Etymology:
Meaning:
To lose one's life by submersion in liquid, typically water.
Origin:
The word "drown" is ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *dreuǵʰ-, meaning "to run." This root is also the origin of words such as "drive," "drain," and "drop."
The original sense of "drown" was "to fall into water and be carried away by the current." Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass the broader concept of losing one's life by submersion in any liquid.
