Where it comes from

Borrowed from French très. Attested in English from the 19th century. Doublet of trans.

adverb

colloquial, not comparable, usually, before English adjective Very, to superior degree. My view is that a fraternity is nothing more than a très snob clique or caucus, but I may be wrong.
