DR stands for "Debit Received". (Likewise CR stands for Credit Received"). People of course think CR is a contraction of the word Credit (which it isn't, really) and so don't ask the question about CR. But DR doesn't really make sense until you know precisely what it stands for, ie "Debit Received". You record that you have received a debit from a particular source, therefore it's marked on the page as DR - conventionally on the left.
