Etymologie

From Old Galician-Portuguese trõo, from trõar, or alternatively from Latin tonus (“thunderclap; sound, tone”), probably through a Late Latin or Vulgar Latin form *tronus, influenced by *tronitus < tonitrus. Compare Galician trono, Spanish trueno, Catalan tro, Occitan tron. See also tom, a possible doublet.
