drown

Etymology
From, , , of obscure and origin.

The OED suggests an unattested Old English form. Harper 2001 points to Old English, (> 🇨🇬, ), "probably influenced" by 🇨🇬 (cf. 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬). Funk & Wagnall's has 'of uncertain origin'. It has been theorised (see e.g. ODS) that it may represent a direct loan of 🇨🇬, but this is described by the OED as being "on phonetic and other grounds [...] highly improbable", unless one considers the possibility of an unattested variant in 🇨🇬.
