Etymology

Connected with Proto-Indo-European *treb- (dwelling, settlement), a root found in Latin trabs (beam), Proto-Germanic *þurpą (village), Lithuanian trōbà (farmhouse). However, according to Beekes these words cannot be related and prefers to compare θεράπων (therápōn, servant, maid); according to him, because of the alternations θ/τ and μν/πν the word is Pre-Greek.
