Etymology

Etymology tree

Proto-Indo-European *terd-

Sanskrit तृद् (tṛd)der.

Prakrit 𑀝𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀇 (ṭuṭṭaï)bor.

Sanskrit त्रुट् (truṭ)

Borrowed from Prakrit 𑀝𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀇 (ṭuṭṭaï, “to break”), which is itself from Sanskrit तृद् (tṛd, “to cleave, split”); see the Prakrit term for more.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Johansson and Morgenstierne attempt to connect the root to Latvian trusls (“fragile”) and Proto-Slavic *truditi (“to toil”), but Mayrhofer rejects these etymologies in favour of the Prakritism.

Pronunciation

(Vedic) IPA^(key): /tɾuʈ/
(Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /t̪ɾuʈ/

Root

त्रुट् • (truṭ)

to be torn or split, tear, break, fall asunder
