Drû (pl. Drúin, coll. Drúath) is the Sindarin name for the mysterious people of Men who became known as the Woses in the Third Age.
Usage of plural
- Drúin is the simple plural of the word.
- The collective Drúath was modified as early as the First Age when it became known that they were enemies of the orcs. Later used to refer to a large number of the Drúedain.
- Drúedain refers to the race as a whole.
Etymology
This Sindarin word comes from Drughu the Drúedain's own name for themselves.
Since Elvish don't have gh it was derived as drughu > dru'u > druu > drû
