Pokorny (1959) attributed it to Proto-Indo-European *treb-, *trē̆b, *trōb (building, dwelling) (cf. Latin trabs (balk, beam), Welsh tref (dwelling), Lithuanian trobà (house, edifice, building), Old English ðorp.[1]

Orel[2] and Çabej[3] attributed it to Middle Greek τρέβα "truce", itself from treve (also Old French trieve, whence French trêve), from Frankish *treuwu, from Proto-Germanic *trewwō (fidelity; pledge).
