Usage Note
trousseau has two main senses: a trousseau de clés (bunch of keys) and, more traditionally, the trousseau de mariée (a bride's trousseau — the collection of linen, clothes, and household items). The plural follows the -eau → -eaux pattern: trousseaux. The silent final '-eau' is a classic French spelling pattern.
