Origins

From Proto-Germanic *trewwō (“pledge, covenant”). The forms with v (b, w) are often derived from Proto-West Germanic *treuwu, those with g (c, q) instead from Gothic 𐍄𐍂𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍅𐌰 (triggwa); but this is not certain since Germanic /w/ commonly surfaces as Romance /ɡw/. Cognate with English truce.
