"a bride's clothing, etc., brought from her former home," 1817, from French trousseau, originally "a bundle," diminutive of Old French trousse "bundle" (see truss (n.)). Italicized as foreign at first, nativized by 1833. The Old French word was borrowed into Middle English early 13c. as "a bundle of keys," but it fell from use.

Trousseau or Trousseau Noir, also known as Bastardo, is an old variety of red wine grape originating in eastern France. It is grown in small amounts in many parts of Western Europe; the largest plantations are today found in Portugal, where most famously it is used in port wine. It makes deep cherry red wines with high alcohol and high, sour candy acidity, and flavours of red berry fruits, often complemented - depending on production - by a jerky nose and an organic, mossy minerality.
Trousseau may refer to:
- A dowry
- The outfit of a bride, including the wedding dress or similar clothing
- A hope chest, glory box or its contents
- Trousseau (grape), a wine grape also known as Bastardo.
- A white mutation of the Trousseau grape, known as Trousseau Gris.
- Armand Trousseau (1801–67), an eminent French internist
