† travaillen.

Forms:

α. 1800s travaux (plural, nonstandard), 1800s traville, 1800s–1900s travail, 1800s–1900s travaille.

β. 1800s–1900s travee.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French travail.

Etymology: < Canadian French travail, transferred use of travail (plural travails ), denoting the shafts of a vehicle between which a draft animal is harnessed, probably originally the same word as French travail frame of bars arranged around a large animal to immobilize it (see travail n.² and compare trave n. 1a).The plural form travaux is apparently by analogy with the more distantly related French travaux , plural of travail work, labour (see travail n.¹). In the β. forms perhaps influenced by French travée space between two joists (see traviated adj.). N.E.D. (1914) gives the pronunciation as (travāi) /travɑj/.

Obsolete.

A load-bearing frame pulled like a sledge, traditionally used by some North American Indian peoples for transporting goods, possessions, etc., over land, one end of the frame being harnessed to a horse, dog, etc., and the other resting on the ground behind; = travois n. 1a.
