    () Middle English threp (“a rebuke”), deverbal of Middle English threpen (“to scold”) from Old English þrēapian (“to reprove, reprehend, punish, blame”) from Proto-Germanic *þraupōnan (“to punish”) from Proto-Germanic *þrawō (“torment, punishment”) from Proto-Germanic *þrawēnan (“to torment, injure, exhaust”) from Proto-Indo-European *trōw- (“to beat, wound, kill, torment”). Akin to Old English þrēagan (“to rebuke, punish, chastise”), þrēa (“correction, punishment”), þrōwian (“to suffer”). More at throe.
