Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Irish triubus, from Old Irish trebus, probably a borrowing from Old French trebus (sort of foot covering), from Late Latin tubrucus, tribuces (thigh breeches) (attested by Isidore), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreg- (to split, break), possibly via Germanic (Old High German theobroch (gaiters), Gothic *𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌷𐌱𐍂𐍉𐌺𐍃 (*þiuhbrōks)).[1]
