The French word for the number three, sometimes used in English when referring to French concepts or things (like 'menage à trois').
From Latin 'tres,' which is the root for 'three' across most European languages. The French pronunciation changed significantly from Latin due to sound shifts over centuries.
The word 'trois' shows how Romance languages evolved differently from Latin—French dropped the Latin ending 'es' and changed 'tr' pronunciation, while Italian kept 'tre' closer to the original, all from the same Latin root!
