truss is the name used in a techical paper from AT&T from ~1984.
trace is the first implementation of the idea in SunOS-4.0 (1987)
strace is an attempt to reimplement trace from SunOS-4.0 in 1989,
unfortunately strace is the name of an older streams tracer.
With SVr4 (1989/1990), trace from SunOS was renamed to truss on request of AT&T.

strace was later ported to Linux....
