Etymology
1. From trauj-, from trauwʲ-, the oblique stem of Proto-West Germanic *trawi, from Proto-Germanic *trawją (“wooden vessel”). Cognate with Old Swedish trø (“wooden grain measure”), Low German Treechel (“dough trough”), possibly Old Norse treyja (“carrier”). Related to Old English trog (“trough”).
2. Thought to be from the same root as trēow (“tree”), from Proto-Germanic *trewą, from Proto-Indo-European *dóru (“tree”), *drew- (“hard, firm, strong, solid”). Potential cognates from this root include Sanskrit द्रोण (droṇa, “trough”) and Ancient Greek δροίτη (droítē, “tub, vat”).
3. For the phonetic development, compare hīeġ and īeġ. See: Old Norse Nouns '
treyja', Old English Nouns '
trog', Ancient Greek Nouns '
