Etymology

Inherited from Middle French
travail
Inherited from Old French
travail
In summary

Inherited from Middle French travail (“suffering, pain”), from Old French travail (“suffering, pain”), deverbal of travailler, from Vulgar Latin *tripāliāre, from Late Latin tripālium (“torture device made of three stakes”). The plural derives from Old French travauz, early travailz, with vocalization of the lateral before a consonant (/tʁavo/ < /tɾaˈvau̯s/ < /tɾaˈvaʎts/).
