Usage

In historical contexts the word tribe is broadly accepted (the area was inhabited by Slavic tribes), but in contemporary contexts it is problematic when used to refer to a community living within a traditional society. It is strongly associated with past attitudes of white colonialists towards so-called primitive or uncivilized peoples living in remote undeveloped places. For this reason it is generally preferable to use alternative terms such as community or people.

Origin

Middle English: from Old French tribu or Latin tribus (singular and plural); perhaps related to tri- 'three' and referring to the three divisions of the early people of Rome.

In the early days of ancient Rome the people fell into three political divisions. This division into ‘three’ (tri- in Latin) may be the origin of tribus, from which tribe descended, along with tribunal (Late Middle English), tribune (Late Middle English), tribute (Middle English), and retribution (Late Middle English) ‘paying back’. The first uses of tribe in English referred to the twelve ancient tribes of Israel claiming descent from the twelve sons of Jacob. From tribute comes tributary, found from the 15th century for someone paying tribute. The sense of a smaller river adding its contribution to the big one developed from this in the early 19th century.
