trousen.2

Forms:

α. (In singular form) 1500s trowes, 1600s trous, 1600s trouze, 1600s–1700s trowze, 1600s–1800s trouse, 1700s trowse, 1700s (Scottish)–1800s (Manx English) trowis.

β. (In plural form) 1500s–1600s trouzes, 1500s–1900s trouses, 1600s trooses, 1600s troosses, 1600s troozes, 1600s trouces, 1600s trousses, 1600s truzes, 1600s–1700s trowzes, 1600s–1800s trowses, 1700s truses (Scottish).

Origin: Apparently partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Perhaps partly a borrowing from Irish. Etymons: trews n.; Irish triús.
Etymology: Apparently partly a variant of trews n., and perhaps partly independently < Irish triús trews n. (see note). Perhaps also influenced by Middle French, French trousses , denoting a kind of breeches or hose (1570; specific use of the plural of trousse truss n.; compare truss n. 3b).Early evidence for trouse n.2 appears to refer more commonly to Ireland than Scotland (unlike trews n. which is found in both Scottish and Irish contexts in early use); this may suggest a partially separate path of borrowing for trouse n.2, perhaps in connection with the English conquest of Ireland in the early 16th cent., which may also have had an influence on the word's pronunciation. Form and pronunciation history. N.E.D. (1915) gives the pronunciation as (trūz, trɑuz) /truːz/, /traʊz/. In early use in singular form (see α. forms) this word is difficult to distinguish from trews n.; forms with ou and ow have been included in this entry, as they may reflect a diphthongal pronunciation showing the effects the Great Vowel Shift (the antecedent to the pronunciation with // cited in N.E.D., which is also continued in trousers n.). This could imply that the word existed somewhat earlier than the date of the earliest surviving attestations, although it is also possible that this pronunciation developed later, by analogy with older words or as a spelling pronunciation. Evidence for the undiphthongized long vowel (also preserved at trews n.) is shown by 17th-cent. forms like trooses. Use in plural. The singular forms of this word are also sometimes used as if collective or plural (in parallel with trews n.; compare the discussion at that entry); the development of a true plural form (with the ending -es ) is not paralleled at trews n. Specific forms. The Scottish Gaelic form triumhas cited in quot. 1813 at sense 1a is a former spelling variant of triubhas trews n.
Obsolete.
1. Originally: a garment resembling either breeches with stockings attached or close-fitting trousers strapped under or (partially) covering the feet, formerly worn by men in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands; = trews n. 1. Later also: knee breeches; drawers.
a. In singular.
