Etymology
1. c.1375, possibly an aphetic variant of stricklen "to trickle," a frequentative form of striken "to flow, move" (see strike). The noun is 1580, from the verb. Trickle-down in economic sense first recorded 1944.
2. From Middle English triklen, likely a rebracketing (e.g. teres strikled > teerys trikled (“tears trickled”)) of Middle English striklen (“to trickle”), equivalent to strike + -le.
3. For other similar cases of incorrect division, see also apron, daffodil, newt, nickname, orange, umpire.
