trousseau

Trousseau comes from French trousseau, which is the diminutive form of trousse, meaning 'bundle.'

The word entered English as a borrowing directly from French, keeping its sense of a gathered collection of belongings tied to a bundle.

Trousseau shares its root with French trousse, the plain 'bundle' from which the diminutive was formed — English never separately borrowed trousse itself, so the two remain linked only through this shared French ancestor.
