Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Most likely from Proto-Slavic *drapъ (scratch, trail)/Proto-Slavic *drabъ (spike; grazed cloth, rag) + *-skati, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *derH- (to tear). Possibly, also influenced by Proto-Indo-European *dʰreb- (to beat, to grind), in view of the derivative Russian дразга (drazga, freckle). Closely related to Lithuanian draskýti (to tear apart).

Trubachev also considers a direct derivation from Proto-Slavic *derti (to tear), as in the inchoative Ancient Greek ἀποδιδράσκω (apodidráskō, to flee, to retreat).
