Etymology of DRAG INTO
The word "drag" has its roots in Old Norse, where it was originally "dragg", meaning "a pull" or "a stroke". It was borrowed into Old English as "dræg", which referred to the act of pulling or drawing something along the ground.
The word "into" originated in Old English as "intō", from the combination of the preposition "in" (meaning "into" or "within") and the adverbial particle "to" (meaning "in the direction").
When combined, the phrase "drag into" came to mean forcefully or reluctantly pulling or drawing something or someone into a particular place, situation, or conversation. The etymology of "drag into" lies in the linguistic evolution of both "drag" and "into" throughout the centuries.
