Origin Mid 16th century: probably based on Old English drēosan 'to fall', of Germanic origin; probably related to dreary. dreary from Old English: In Saxon times dreary was ‘gory, bloody’. It came from a word meaning ‘gore’ which was related to Old English drēosan ‘to drop, fall’, the source of dreary drizzle (mid 16th century). The modern sense ‘depressingly dull and bleak’ did not develop until the mid 17th century.
