La storia
French and Italian probably 'find' the way poets found a tune: the troubadour (Occitan trobador) was literally 'the finder'. The source *TROPĀRE is disputed. Spanish finds by bumping into things: encontrar, English encounter.
Parenti inglesi: troubadour (via Occitan); encounter (from *INCONTRĀRE)
