Drüse, feminine, ‘gland, kernel, swelling of the glands,’ from Middle High German drüese, druose (whence the Modern High German variant druse, but only in a special sense); Old High German druos, druosi, feminine, ‘glanders,’ Gothic *þros or þrôhsi?, is wanting; so too in English there is no cognate term.
