editPronunciation
editEtymology 1
editFrom Proto-Brythonic *tro, related to Middle Breton tro and middle Cornish tro.[1] The ultimate origin is unclear; sometimes said to be from Ancient Greek Τροία (Troía, “Troy”), referring to the city's maze-like walls, but this could just be a similarity enforced by folk etymology.[2][3] It could instead be from corruptions of troed (“foot”),[4] Latin torqueo (“I turn”), or Latin tropus/Ancient Greek τρόπος (trópos, “a turn”). Also compare French troller (“to stroll, drag, wander about”).[5] More at Caerdroia.
