Noun

IPA: /ˈtrɔu̯ð(ə)/, /ˈtrɛu̯ð(ə)/, /ˈtriu̯ð(ə)/, /-θ(ə)/, /ˈtrøwðə/ [Early-Middle-English]
Etymology: Inherited from Old English trēowþ, trīewþ, from Proto-West Germanic *triuwiþu, from Proto-Germanic *triwwiþō; equivalent to trewe + -the (abstract nominal suffix). The final vowel is generalised from Old English oblique cases, while forms in /iu̯/ reflect the influence of trewe; the usual vocalism in /ɛu̯/, /ɔu̯/ is due to shortening before the consonant cluster /wθ/ in late Old English.
