drub
drub: [17] Drub appears to have been introduced to the English language by Sir Thomas Herbert (1606–82), a traveller in the Orient, who used the word several times in his Relation of some yeares travaile into Afrique and the greater Asia 1634: ‘[The pasha] made the Petitioner be almost drub’d to death’. It came from Arabic dáraraba, which meant not just ‘beat’, but also specifically ‘bastinado’ – ‘beat on the soles of the feet as a punishment or torture’.
drub (v.)
1630s (in an Oriental travel narrative), probably from Arabic darb "a beating," from daraba "he beat up" (see discussion in OED). Related: Drubbed; Drubbing.
