Etymology
The origin of "treaz" is disputed among Romanian etymologists. It does not trace cleanly to a Latin source, unlike most core Romanian vocabulary. Some scholars treat it as one of the small set of words that may come from the pre-Roman substrate of the region, but no consensus has been reached. No reliable Indo-European root has been established for it.
