Etymology
Romanian borrowed "trib" from French "tribu", which comes from Latin "tribus". In early Rome, a "tribus" was one of the three original divisions of the Roman people, and later came to mean any political or ethnic subdivision. The Latin word is traditionally linked to "tres" (three), though the connection is debated among scholars.
