tro

Catalan

Etymology

From Old Occitan [Term?] (compare Occitan tron), from Latin tonus (“thunderclap; sound, tone”) (possibly through a Late Latin or Vulgar Latin *tronus[1]), incremented with an -r- due to influence from *tronitus < tonitrus), and ultimately from Ancient Greek τόνος (tónos); compare also Portuguese trom, Spanish trueno). Compare the borrowed doublet to.
