trousseau in SSC previous-year questions

  1. SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling

    Choose the option with the correct spelling.

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: A) Trousseau

    Rule: trousseau = the clothes, linen and other possessions a bride collects for her marriage *(वधू की पोशाकें और साज़ो-सामान)*.
    A French borrowing: trou- + double s + -eau, the ending of *bureau, plateau* and *chateau*.
    Why the others are wrong.
    • Trousaeu — the *-eau* ending has been scrambled to *-aeu*, and one *s* is missing.
    • Truosseau — *ou* has been reversed to *uo*; the French *trou-* stays *ou*.
    • Truoseau — both slips together: *uo* for *ou* and a single *s*.
    *French words keep -eau: bureau, plateau, chateau, trousseau.*
