Etymology

From Middle English moven, moeven, meven, borrowed from Old Northern French mover, moveir and Old French mouver, moveir (“to move”) (compare modern French mouvoir from Old French movoir), from Latin mov?re, present active infinitive of move? (“move; change, exchange, go in or out, quit”), from Proto-Indo-European *mew- (“to move, drive”). Cognate with Lithuanian mauti (“to push on, rush”), Sanskrit ????? (m??vati, “pushes, presses, moves”), Middle Dutch mouwe (“sleeve”). More at muff. Largely displaced native English stir, from Middle English stiren, sturien, from Old English styrian.

      Two days were thus wasted in the quarrel between the consuls. It was clear that while Faminius was present no decision could be arrived at.

Its purport was that the Ambracians should have all their property restored to them; they should be free to live under their own laws; they should impose such harbour dues and other imposts by land and sea as they desired, provided that the Romans and their Italian allies were exempt.

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.
