Definitions and meaning of trick

trick

Etymology

From Middle English trikke, from Old Northern French trique (related to Old French trichier (to defraud, act dishonestly, conceal, deceive, cheat); > modern French tricher), itself possibly from Middle High German trechen (to launch a shot at, play a trick on), or one of its derivatives (e.g. Middle High German ūftrechen (to do something to someone, hurt someone), vertrechen (to conceal, get over on someone), zuotrechen (to obtain falsely or deceitfully, wangle, finagle), etc.); yet the Old French verb is equally likely to be derived from Vulgar Latin *triccāre, from Late Latin tricāre, from Latin trīcor, trīcārī (dodge, search for detours; haggle, quibble).

The term has been connected to Middle Dutch treck, trec (draw, line, desire, game move, cord, stratagem, ruse, trick), from Middle Dutch trekken, trēken (to pull, place, put, move), from Old Dutch *trekken, *trekan (to move, drag), from Proto-Germanic *trakjaną, *trekaną (to drag, scrape, pull), from Proto-Indo-European *dreg- (to drag, scrape). If they are related, trick would be 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.
