Etymology
From Old Swedish trǣet, trǣt, later trǣdh, originally the definite form of trǣ (“tree, wood”), from Old Norse tré, from Proto-Germanic *trewą (“tree, wood”), from pre-Germanic *dréwom, thematic e-grade derivative of Proto-Indo-European *dóru (“tree”). Doublet of trä. The form trædh, trädh was used still as the definite form in Old Swedish and in the Gustav Vasa Bible (1541), but by the early 18th century, it had split into the indefinite form meaning ”tree”, separate from trä (“wood”). Hence, the modern definite form is trädet, with the definite ending -et on top of the now fossilized remnant of definite form -d. See: Old Norse Nouns '
tré'.
