Etymology
From Old French tirer (“to draw, pull out with great effort, snatch violently, tear away”), of uncertain origin; possibly from Gothic *???????????????????? (*tiran, “to tear away, remove”), from Proto-Germanic *teran? (“to tear, tear apart”), from Proto-Indo-European *der?- (“to tear, tear apart”). If derived from the Germanic word, cognate with Gothic ???????????????????????????????????? (distairan, “to tear apart”), ???????????????????????????????? (gatairan, “to tear down, remove”), German zerren (“to tug”). Alternatively from a reduction of Old French martirier, from Late Latin *martyr?re.
