----
tribe -- mid-13c., "one of the twelve divisions of the ancient Hebrews,"
from O.Fr. tribu, from L. tribus "one of the three political/ethnic
divisions of the original Roman state" (Tites, Ramnes, and Luceres,
corresponding,
perhaps, to the Latins, Sabines, and Etruscans), later, one of the 30
political divisions instituted by Servius Tullius (increased to 35 in 241
B.C.E.), perhaps from tri- "three" + *bhu-, root of the verb be. Others
connect
the word with the root of Welsh tref "town, inhabited place." In the
Biblical sense, which was the original one in English, the Latin word
translates
Gk. phyle "race or tribe of men, body of men united by ties of blood and
descent, a clan" (see physic). Extension to any ethnic group or race of people
is first recorded 1590s. Tribal "characterized by strong group loyalty" is
recorded from 1951.
