Catalan

Etymology

From Lua error in Module:etymology at line 170: Old Occitan (pro) is not set as an ancestor of Catalan (ca) in Module:languages/data/2. The ancestor of Catalan is Old Catalan (roa-oca). (compare Occitan trebol), from a Vulgar Latin *turbulus (compare French trouble, Romanian tulbure), likely an alteration of Latin turbidus, with influence from turbulentus. The current form of the Catalan word was likely influenced by a verb terbolar, from an earlier *torbolar, from a Vulgar Latin *turbulo, *turbulare (compare Occitan trebolar, French troubler)[1].
