Etymology

[edit]

From Middle High German triegen, from Old High German triugan, triogan, from Proto-West Germanic *dreugan.

The expected form is earlier modern German triegen, the vocalism -ü- being due to influence by lügen (to lie, to tell lies), itself originally liegen and thus a rhyming word.
