Etymology
1. c.1373, from Anglo-L. dragma, from L.L. dragma, from L. drachma "drachma," from Gk. drakhma "measure of weight," also, "silver coin," lit. "handful" (of six obols, the least valuable coins in ancient Greece), akin to drassesthai "to grasp." The fluid dram is one-eighth of a fluid ounce, hence "a small drink of liquor" (1713).
2. Inherited from Middle English dragme /dramme, from Old French dragme, from Late Latin dragma, from Latin drachma, from Ancient Greek δραχμή (drakhmḗ, “unit of weight; a handful”). Doublet of drachma, diram, dirham, dirhem, and adarme.
