/truːz/

Forms: 1600s– trews, 1700s–1800s truis, 1900s– threws (Irish English (northern)); also Scottish pre-1700 treues, pre-1700 treus, pre-1700 treuse, pre-1700 trevis, pre-1700 trewes, pre-1700 trewis, pre-1700 truise, pre-1700 truse, pre-1700 1700s trues, 1900s– troose.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Irish. Partly a borrowing from Scottish Gaelic. Etymons: Irish triús; Scottish Gaelic triubhas.

Etymology: < Irish triús and Scottish Gaelic triubhas (Early Irish triubus ), of uncertain origin, perhaps a borrowing < a Romance word related to Anglo-Norman trebuz , tribuz and Old French trebus (late 12th cent., apparently rare), and its etymon Old Occitan trabucs , trebucs (late 12th cent. as trebuz ) < post-classical Latin trabrugi (8th cent.; also tribuces (12th cent.); although this is probably already influenced by Romance forms), variant or alteration of tubruci kind of leg coverings (a636 in Isidore), probably < an early compound in a Germanic language (reflected by, cognate with, or formed similarly to Old High German diohbruoh loincloth, breeches) < the Germanic base of thigh n. + the Germanic base of breech n. Compare later trouse n.² and trousers n.The Irish and Scottish Gaelic etymon is a singular noun; in English use, the final consonant was reinterpreted as the English plural ending -s , probably by analogy with e.g. breeches at breech n. 1c. Compare the following passage, in which trues (uninflected in a post-classical Latin context) appears to reflect the pronunciation of the Irish word, perhaps as perceived by a speaker of Middle English or Anglo-Norman:1306 Pleas of Crown (Irel.) 34–5 Edw. I m. 10 d Vnum crannoc..vnus arcus cum sagittis..vna spartha (unum par) [so apparently; MS. faint] s[o]tularium cum trues..precii vnius denarii et oboli.

With plural agreement.

1. A garment resembling either breeches with stockings attached or close-fitting trousers strapped under or (partially) covering the feet, formerly worn by men in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands and by the members of some Highland regiments (cf. sense 2). Now historical.Trews were typically either knitted or made of cloth cut on the bias, and often had a tartan or check pattern.
