I suggest that it may be from a prior, unstated, word, ending in T - which may mean slow-flowing or dark river. The "T" may be a Brythonic elision - where the second word changes so that the words "elide" together. There are so many examples that there must be a good reason - Trent, Thame, Thames, Till, Tamar, Torridge, Tyne. And, of course, rivers had names before communities did; the names were given 3000+ years ago.
