Etymology
Trup entered Romanian from Old Church Slavonic trupŭ, meaning trunk, block, or corpse. Romanian borrowed a large layer of vocabulary from Slavic during the medieval period, and trup became the everyday word for the physical body. It sits alongside the Latin-derived corp, with the two words dividing register and context rather than competing directly.
