English

Etymology

From Middle English troute, troughte, trught, trou?t, trouhte, partly from Old English truht (“trout”), and partly from Old French truite; both from Late Latin tructa, perhaps from Ancient Greek ??????? (tr?kt?s, “nibbler”), from ????? (tr?g?, “I gnaw”), from Proto-Indo-European *terh?- (“to rub, to turn”). The Internet verb sense originated on BBSes of the 1980s, probably from Monty Python's The Fish-Slapping Dance (1972), though that sketch involved a halibut.
