Etymology

[edit]

Probably from an unattested *तृपु (tṛpu), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *trap-u (lightweight, unsteady), owing to tin's ductile nature (compare Persian سبک (sabok, lightweight, flimsy)), from Proto-Indo-European *trep- (to turn, bow the head (in shame), tremble), and connected with the root त्रप् (trap, to be ashamed or abashed), Latin trepidus (nervous, perilous), and Lithuanian trapùs (brittle, delicate). Arguments for a substrate origin are less likely due to the word's Vedic presence.
