tro
Catalan
Etymology
From Lua error in Module:etymology at line 147: 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 tron), from Latin tonus (“thunderclap; sound, tone”) (possibly through a Late Latin or Vulgar Latin *tronus[1]), incremented with an -r- due to influence from *tronitus < tonitrus), and ultimately from Ancient Greek τόνος (tónos); compare also Portuguese trom, Spanish trueno). Compare the borrowed doublet to.
Pronunciation
- Lua error in Module:ca-IPA at line 1125: In respelling 'tro', the stressed vowel 'o' is ambiguous. Please mark it with an acute, grave, or combined accent: ó, ò, or ô.
Noun
tro m (plural trons)
