Etymology

Borrowed from Bulgarian дропла (dropla), from Proto-Slavic *dropъty, whose first part is probably from Proto-Indo-European *dreh₂- (“run”) and the other from Proto-Slavic *pъta (“bird”), which is probably based on Proto-Indo-European *put- (“a young, a child, a little animal”).[1][2]

Compare Czech drop, Polish drop and Russian дрофа (drofa). Cognate with German Trappe.
