Etymology

1. Of uncertain origin:
2. * Some refer it to a k-extension of Proto-Indo-European *ter- (“to rub”), whence terō (“to rub”), trīticum (“wheat”), intertrīgō (“sore place from rubbing”). This assumes an original meaning and sense development of "crumbs, seeds" > "trifles" > "tricks".
3. * Others derive the word from Proto-Indo-European *terkʷ- (“to turn”), whence Latin torqueō (“to spin, twist”).
4. * Another theory compares Tocharian B traiksa (“missed, did not succeed”), triśäm̥ (“must miss”), though the Tocharian has multiple possible reconstructions, rendering this particularly speculative. See: Latin Nouns 'torqueō'.
