To endure, suffer, or tolerate hardship or pain (Scottish and archaic English).
From Old English 'dreogan' meaning 'to endure' or 'suffer'. The word survived mainly in Scottish dialect and appears in older English poetry, related to German 'tragen' (to bear).
Robert Burns and other Scottish poets used 'dree' to convey stoic endurance—it's one of those wonderful words that captures a whole cultural attitude about hardship and resilience.
