TRABOULER:
vi, franco-provençal (Lyon)
apparently from the lat .(vulg)trabulare
(lat .transambulare): trans-, «across» and ambulare, to move, walk.
The verb, listed in 1894 in the Littré de la Grande Côte
signifies « to make a passage between houses » (with référence to a path, an alley)
The noun TRABOULE f, today more widely used than the verb, signifies the alley or the passage which « traboules ». It is not listed in the dictionaries at the end of the 19th/20th centuries and must have spread a little later.
Trans. adapted from the definition listed in the Robert Dictionnaire Historique de la Langue Française
