词源

As a term for a valley with a stream, or a stream itself, found in various dialects as droke, drock, or drook; in various dialects one or more of those words can also denote other clefts, coves, drainage ditches, and furrows, or part of a plough. Perhaps related to Old Norse or Icelandic drag (“soft slope or valley”).
