How the two words are related
Loanword
Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).
Hebrew דרוזי is simply this Arabic word borrowed in whole. Both درزي and דרוזי ultimately trace to the name of Anushtakin ad-Darazi, an early preacher of the faith — not a Semitic root, just a shared proper-name borrowing.
