Etymology

Inherited from Old Polish drug, druch,[1] from Proto-Slavic *drugъ, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *draugás, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrewgʰ-. The h spelling was influenced by the pronunciation of Ukrainian друг (druh) and possibly also by Czech druh. Note, however, that h in druh alternates with ż in such words as drużba so that this orthographic rule may take precedence over the rule that forbids h at the end of words (compare duchdusza, but błahybłazen, and SapiehaSapieżanka).[2]
