drownv.

Brit.

/draʊn/, U.S.

/draʊn/

Forms: Middle English–1500s drun(e, droun(e, (Middle English drounne, druen, Middle English drone, Middle English–1500s drowen, Scottish drwn), Middle English–1600s drowne, Middle English– drown. β. 1500s dround, 1500s–1600s drownd (now dialect and nonstandard)

Etymology: Middle English drūn-, droun-, drown-, pointing to an Old English *drúnian, not found: origin obscure. A current conjecture is that Middle English drūn- was a phonetic reduction of Middle English drunkn- or Old Norse drukn- (see drunken v.¹) in the same sense. But, on phonetic and other grounds, this appears highly improbable. The later variant drownd is parallel in development to astound, bound, compound, sound, etc.

I. Intransitive.Considered ‘unusual’ by N.E.D. in 1897.

1. To suffer death by submersion in water; to perish by suffocation under water (or other liquid).
