- Babinotis, George: 1444
From Ancient Greek (Hellenistic) τρανός, remodelled as an o-stem from earlier τρανής 'clear, distinct'.
- Beekes, Robert: 1498-1499
Cf. s.v. Ancient Greek τρανής 'clear, distinct, definite, sure', from PIE *tr̥h₂-n- from PIE *terh₂- 'pass through, cross'.
- Chantraine, Pierre: 1128
S.v. AGk. τρανής 'clair, distinct', the sense of the related vocabulary invites a comparison with the adjective τορός 'pénétrant; clair', then the family designating 'percer' cf. τείρω, τέρετρον, τετραίνω, etc.
