- /ˈdɹɛzdən/
Where it comes from
Borrowed from German Dresden (“Dresden”) in the 1730s, from Middle High German Dresden, from a Sorbian source akin to Lower Sorbian Drježdźany, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *dręzga, of which the locative case is *dręzdzě.
proper noun
- The capital city of Saxony, Germany, on the River Elbe.
- A village in Kent County, Ontario, Canada.
- A town in Lincoln County, Maine.
- A town, the county seat of Weakley County, Tennessee.
