Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro The adjective and noun are derived from Middle English truant, truand, truaund, from Old French truant, truand (modern truand), probably of - origin, possibly from *trugan, or from truan (wretched), from *taratrom, from Proto-Indo-European *térh₁-tro-m, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *terh₁- (to drill, pierce; to rub; to turn).
