Definitions

  1. To work hard at dull, tiring, or repetitive tasks.

Word origin

From Middle English druggen, perhaps from Old English *dryċġan, from Proto-West Germanic *druggjan, from Proto-Germanic *drugjaną, a denominative built to a lost noun *drugjaz (preserved in Old English Dryċġhelm), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrewgʰ-; compare Old English drēogan (“to do; to suffer”).

Used in a sentence

  • “drudge work”
  • “Rise to our Toils and drudge away the day.”
  • “He gradually rose in the estimation of the booksellers for whom he drudged.”
