=== Etymology ===
Uncertain. Attested since at least 1513. The Dictionary of the Scots Language (DSL) and English Dialect Dictionary mention Old Norse drukna (“drown”), but the DSL says this would've produced a short vowel in Scots, not the long vowel that is attested. Compare draik, drawk, drauk (“saturate, drench”), droke, drock (“to drench”).

drouk
(transitive) to drench, to soak, to thoroughly wet
to duck
