Etymology

From Old Occitan [Term?] (compare Occitan trebol), from a Vulgar Latin *turbulus (compare French trouble, Romanian tulbure), likely an alteration of Latin turbidus, with influence from turbulentus. The current form of the Catalan word was likely influenced by a verb terbolar, from an earlier *torbolar, from a Vulgar Latin *turbulo, *turbulare (compare Occitan trebolar, French troubler)[1].
