Etymology edit

Of uncertain origin.

Mayrhofer rejects the connections made by Johansson and Morgenstierne to Latvian trusls (fragile) and Proto-Slavic *truditi (to toil), and prefers Tedesco's derivation from तृद् (tṛd, to cleave, destroy), via a series of sound changes तृणत्ति (tṛṇatti) > *तृत्त (tṛtta) > *त्रुट्ट (truṭṭa) > त्रुट् (truṭ), albeit with reservations about the chronology of the root's derived terms.

Alternatively, borrowed from a local substrate.

Pronunciation edit
