Drought first showed up in English over 1,000 years ago to refer to a dry, parched place, like the desert. The word is ultimately from the Old English word for "dry" (dryge); the adjective turned into a verb (drugian, "to make dry"), and then that verb was adapted into a noun (drugath or drugoth, "a dry place").
