Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Disputed. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *trewH- (to rub); see *trāvà (grass) for more discussion.[1] However, the linguist Miguel Svensson argues that the term is more likely to be derived from the root Proto-Indo-European *treh₁w- (to feed, bring up). Svensson instead connects the term with Avestan θraoštā (to feed) and Old High German trouuen.[2]

Verb

*trùti[1][3]

  1. to feed?
  2. to consume?
  3. to poison?
