/trʌs//trʌs/

The word "truss" originates from the Middle English word "trous" or "trouse," which meant "bundle" or "package." This word was likely derived from the Old Norse word "trǣ" or "trauðr," meaning "work" or "matter." In medieval architecture, the term "truss" was specifically used to describe a structural support made up of two or more triangular shapes formed by beams or other materials, designed to distribute weight and prevent collapse. These trusses were often used in roof construction to transfer load to exterior walls or other load-bearing elements. Over time, the meaning of the word "truss" expanded to include a variety of other applications, such as the medical use to describe a device used to support or stabilize an injured body part. In agriculture, the term refers to a device used to support bales of hay or other agricultural products during transport or storage. Today, the meaning of "truss" continues to evolve, with new uses emerging in fields such as engineering and physics.
