Origin

Old English trēowe, trȳwe 'steadfast, loyal'; related to Dutch getrouw, German treu, also to truce.

From the same root as truce (Middle English) and truth, this originally meant ‘loyal or steadfast’. Over time this gradually led to the idea of being reliable or honest, and then to that of truthfulness. The idea behind many a true word is spoken in jest is found in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the late 14th century, but the modern form of the proverb first appeared in print in the 17th century.
