An archaic or dialect word meaning to move slowly or sluggishly, or to droop.
A rare or obsolete English word of uncertain origin, possibly related to 'droll' or 'drool.' It may come from Old Norse or Old Dutch influences on English.
Obscure words like 'droyl' remind us that English speakers in medieval times had specific words for subtle actions we'd now just call 'moving slowly'—they were more poetic about laziness!
