trussv.

Brit. /trʌs/, U.S. /trəs/
Forms: Middle English–1600s trusse, (Middle English–1500s trosse, Middle English tros(e), Middle English trus, ( truse, Middle English trush, trusshe), 1500s trousse, trowse, 1500s– truss. β. ScottishMiddle English–1500s turss, Middle English twrss, 1500s turs, turse. Past tense and participle trussed /trʌst/; also Middle English–1600s trust, 1500s truste; β.

Etymology: < French trousser, in Old French also trusser ( Chanson Roland, 11th cent.), trosser, torser, tourser ‘to trusse, tucke, packe up, to bind or gird up or in’ (Cotgrave) = Provençal trossar (and medieval Latin trossare), Old Spanish trossar, Spanish troxar, Portuguese trouxar (Diez), of disputed etymology; referred by Diez to the late Latin participial stem tort- or tors- of Latin torquēre to twist.
