Etymology

1. An old compound from the stem of trēs (“three”), cognate with Umbrian 𐌕𐌓𐌉𐌚𐌖 (trifu). Either from:
2. * Proto-Italic *triðus if from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁- (“to put, place, set”), thus Proto-Indo-European *tri-dʰh₁-o- (“rendered in three, tripartite”) but changed to a u-stem; cf. with Skt. multiplicatives in -dhā such as Sanskrit त्रिधा (tridhā, “threefold”), and with other derivatives such as Lithuanian iñdas (“dishware”) < *h₁n̥-dʰh₁-o-. This would be evidence to the development of PIt. *þ before vocalic *u as after it;
3. * Proto-Italic *triβus if from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow, become, come into being, appear”); in that case, the u-suffix was originally part of the root.
4. Originally referring to three divisions of the (Roman) people. Cognate to Umbrian trifu (“tribe, people”).
