trueno

From Latin tonus (“thunderclap; sound, tone”), possibly through a Late Latin or Vulgar Latin *tronus, incremented with an -r- due to influence from *tronitus < tonitrus, and ultimately from Ancient Greek τόνος (tónos); alternatively a derivative of tronar. Compare Catalan tro, Galician trono, Portuguese trom, Occitan tron, dialectal Italian trono. See also the possible doublet tono.
