Ok, the word 'trousers' is derived from 'trews'. I didn't do the minimum research but now I have. I take back the comment on pretending it's a different word, in this case. But it still pertains to a lot of text I see where people are trying to show how Scottish they are by spelling things phoneticly and using lots of 'ach's and 'ooo's. But that's another topic. It still looks to me like a modern version of the old trews would just be plaid pants.
