Etymology

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/).
