Etymology

The word 'drag' originates from Old English 'dragan,' which means 'to draw or haul.' It has Germanic roots, akin to the Middle Dutch 'dragen' and Old High German 'tragen,' both meaning 'to carry.' The usage of the term in the context of slowness or dullness likely evolved from the idea of something being pulled along at a sluggish pace. Adding the '-iest' suffix in English forms the superlative 'draggiest,' indicating the highest degree of this characteristic. As the language evolved, 'drag' also took on various meanings, including a person who impersonates someone of the opposite gender, which is unrelated to the current usage but showcases the word's diverse applications through time.
