дрын

Supposed by Moscow circle philologers Proto-Slavic *drynъ, as also found in a dialectal Ukrainian дрін (drin); were it so, it would probably be borrowed from a descendant of Proto-Indo-Iranian *dráwnam, however the word is not even attested before the 20th century, but entered argots, internet corners and political discourse from Soviet-era regiolects, so can be presumed to be an expressive formation from драть (dratʹ), like in the 18th already was formed дрянь (drjanʹ).
