prettygoodwordtrooz (TROOZ) - n., (Scot.) trews, trousers.
Trews being close-fitting, tartan trousers -- a traditional Highland dress choice. From either Gaelic triubhas or alteration of earlier trouse, short for trousers -- and that last, frankly, is what I've always assumed.

And that wraps up this first installment of words learned from Words With Friends, affectionately known as WTF WWF -- this time focused on Z-words. Back next week with the usual unsorted heap before returning for another installment the week after.
