Etymology

Cognate with Spanish: trueno

Cognate with Portuguese: trom

In summary

Inherited from Old Catalan tro, from Vulgar Latin *tronus, a noun based on Vulgar Latin *tronāre, modification of Latin tonāre (“to thunder”) (with the additional /r/ perhaps by analogy with *tronitus, metathesis of tonitrus). Compare Spanish trueno, Portuguese trom.
