thrip

/θrɪp/ noun C1

small wood insect

Word Origin Thrip is a tiny insect, and its name comes directly from Greek thrips 'woodworm.' It's a borrowing that kept its Greek form. Interestingly, the same root might be related to diatribe, which originally meant 'a wearing away' — like a woodworm gnawing.
