Etymology
1. 1388, "walk heavily, stamp," from M.L.G.
trampen "to stamp," from P.Gmc.
*tramp- (cf. Dan.
trampe, Swed.
trampa "to tramp, stamp," Goth.
ana-trimpan "to press upon"), probably from a variant of the P.Gmc. source of trap. The noun meaning "person who wanders about, vagabond" is first recorded 1664, from the verb. Sense of "steamship which takes cargo wherever it can be traded" (as opposed to one running a regular line) is attested from c.1880. The meaning "promiscuous woman" is from 1922.
2. From Middle English trampen (“to walk heavily”), from Middle Low German trampen (“to stamp”) (trampeln (“to walk with heavy steps”), see trample) or from Middle Dutch trampen (“to stamp”), from Proto-West Germanic *trampan (“to step”). Doublet of tremp.
3. Cognate with Dutch trampen (“to stamp, kick, step”), dialectal German trampen (“to step, walk, tread”), whence commoner German trampeln (“to trample”). Probably related to trap. See: Dutch '
trampen', German, old spelling '
trampen', German, old spelling '
trampeln'.
