Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: trouveur

Inherited from Old French: troveor

Inherited from Latin: tropus

Cognate with Occitan: trobador

In summary

Inherited from Middle French trouveur, from trouver (“to find, invent”) + -eur. Or from Old French troveor (objective/accusative case), itself from the verb trover + -eor, or possibly corresponding to a Gallo-Vulgar Latin *tropatōre(m), accusative of *tropātor, from the verb *tropō, tropāre, from Latin tropus. Cognate to Occitan trobador. See also French troubadour, which was taken from Old Occitan.
