trick
English
Etymology
Uncertain.
- Perhaps from From Middle English *trikke, from Old Northern French trique (related to Old French trichier; French: tricher), itself possibly from Middle High German trechen (“to launch a shot at, play a trick on”), but the Old French verb more likely is derived from Vulgar Latin *tricc?re, from Late Latin tric?re, from Latin tr?cor, tr?c?r? (“behave in an evasive manner, search for detours; trifle, delay”).
- Alternatively, perhaps from Dutch trek (“a pull, draw, trick”), from trekken (“to draw”), from Middle Dutch trekken, tr?ken (“to pull, place, put, move”), from Old Dutch *trekkan, *trekan (“to move, drag”), from Proto-Germanic *trakjan?, *trekan? (“to drag, scrape, pull”), from Proto-Indo-European *dreg- (“to drag, scrape”).
If the second proposal is correct, the term is cognate with Low German trekken, Middle High German trecken, trechen, Danish trække, and Old Frisian trekka, Romanian truc and other Romance languages.
Compare track, treachery, trig, and trigger.
