Etymology 1

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *trupъ (“(tree) stump”), with this meaning still present in Czech and Polish trup, from Proto-Indo-European *truH-p. Perhaps related to Lithuanian traupus (“fragile,brittle”), Greek τρυπώ (trupṓ, “bore”). Compare Russian труп (trup), Belarusian труп (trup), Bulgarian труп (trup), all with the same meaning.
