Etymology
The word 'trowed' has its roots in Old English, specifically from the word 'trowen', which is derived from Proto-Germanic *trewwลnฤ , meaning 'to believe'. The derivative 'trow' was commonly used in Middle English and has historical significance in various dialects, but its usage has diminished significantly over time. In the early forms of the language, 'trow' was utilized in both literary and oral traditions, where expressing belief was crucial. As English evolved, it borrowed from many languages and absorbed new verbs while older forms became obsolete. Linguistic changes over the centuries, including the transition from Middle to Modern English, led to the loss of many archaic terms such as 'trowed'. Today, its use is largely confined to historical texts, poetry, or dialects within certain regions.
