ETYMOLOGY

Beider argues (correctly) that the word must have been borrowed from Old Polish before the 16th c. while the vowel of drób was still long /oː/.
{Beider 2015: 446}
Middle Polish drȯb 'small horned household animals (goats, sheep etc.); fry'
{Geller and Gajek, 2023: 55}
Polish drób 'poultry, small items', Russian (dialect) дробь 'fraction' < Proto-Slavic ✱drobь 'small piece'.
Related to Russian дроби́ть 'to crush', Polish drobić 'to crumble' < Proto-Slavic ✱drobìti < ✱dʰrobʰ-eie-; cf. Gothic gadraban 'to cut out'.
Perhaps related to Russian (dialect) дроб 'dregs', Czech drob 'entrails' < Proto-Slavic ✱drobà; < Proto-Balto-Slavic ✱drob-; cf. Lithuanian (dialect) drabnà sleet, dough, mud'.
Related to ON draf 'lees, yeast', Dutch draf 'pig's swill', OHG trebir 'pig's swill'.
Polish drobny 'small, tiny' (see דראָבנע), Ukrainian дрібний (see דריבנע), Belarusian дро́бны, Russian (dialect) дро́бный 'small' < Proto-Slavic ✱drobьnъ 'small, fine'.
From the PIE root ✱dʰrabʰ-.
{Derksen 2007: 117-119}
OHG truobi 'turbid, dark, confused', MHG trüebe 'dim, gloomy', NHG trübe (see טריב) < PGm. ✱drōbu- 'turbid; troubled' (EUR); Perhaps from PIE ✱dʰrebʰ- 'to fracture'; cf. Lithuanian drebėti 'to quiver'.
