Etymology

    Sanskritization of Prakrit 𑀝𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀇 (ṭuṭṭaï, to break), which is itself from Sanskrit तृद् (tṛd, to cleave, split); see the Prakrit term for more.[1][2][3]

    Johansson and Morgenstierne attempt to connect the root to Latvian trusls (fragile) and Proto-Slavic *truditi (to toil), but Mayrhofer rejects these etymologies in favour of the Prakritism.
