| Etymology |
| s-142
| From Middle English trust (“trust, protection”). |
| s-143
| Long considered a borrowing from Old Norse traust (“confidence, help, protection”), itself from Proto-Germanic *traustą, but the root vocalism is incompatible, and now it's considered a reflex of an unattested Old English *trust, from a rare zero-grade proto-Germanic variant of the same root also attested in Middle High German getrüste (“host”). |
| s-144
| Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *deru- (be firm, hard, solid”). |
| s-145
| Akin to Danish trøst (“comfort, solace”), Saterland Frisian Traast (“comfort, solace”), West Frisian treast (“comfort, solace”), Dutch troost (“comfort, consolation”), German Trost (“comfort, consolation”), Gothic trausti (trausti, “alliance, pact”). |
| s-146
| Doublet of tryst. |
