† droukeningadj.

Forms: early Middle English druicninde (probably transmission error), early Middle English durcninde (see note), Middle English drouknyng.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: *droukne , -ing suffix².

Etymology: < an unattested Middle English verb *droukne to become dejected or downcast, of uncertain origin (see note) + -ing suffix². Compare droukening n., and also later drowk v.Middle English *droukne is perhaps an alteration of droupne droopen v. after early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic drukna to be drowned: see drunken v.¹). Semantically (and also phonologically in so far as length of stem vowel is concerned) the word accords well with droopen v., whereas in consonantism it appears to show the influence of the Scandinavian verb (which has a short stem vowel); an otherwise unattested semantic development of the latter from ‘to be drowned’ to ‘to be overwhelmed (figuratively)’ (compare e.g. drench v. 6) is a further possibility that cannot be ruled out. The form druicninde may conceivably reflect the influence of Old English gedrycned dried up, emaciated, but is more likely simply to show a scribal error for drucninde . The form durcninde, if not also erroneous, may show metathesis, or perhaps even a different word. A later example is perhaps shown by the variant reading (from MS Royal) in quot. c1300 at droukening n.; however, interpretation as a noun is also possible (and preferable).

Obsolete.

Dejected, downcast.
