Proto-Slavic
Etymology
- Per Derksen, a denominative verb derived from *trāvà (“grass”).[1]
- According to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *terh₁- (“to rub”).[2] This is supported by Vasmer, citing it as cognate with Ancient Greek τρώω (trṓō, “to hurt”), τιτρώσκω (titrṓskō, “to hurt”), τρῡ́ω (trū́ō, “to destroy, to exhaust”), Old High German drawa (“threat”), drōа (“threat”), Old English þrēа (“threat, punishment”). More distantly related to Proto-Slavic *terti (“to rub”), as well as *trāvà (“grass”).
- Per Trubachev, *trāvìti is the causative of *truti (“to feed? to consume? to poison?”), and *trāvà is derived from the verb, not the other way around.
Verb
*trāvìti[1][3]
