Surjection (talk | contribs) restored with RFV as per standard procedure |
→Noun: Per WT:FICTION “fictional characters from anime” can only be included in so far as the usage has escaped to the real world. Otherwise this gloss is also self-contradictory, since a character in anime cannot speak about fictional characters in anime (unless watching himself anime). Resolves RFV. And so we boast of a much clearer definition, which also makes it obvious why it is called “trap”. Tag: removal-of-deletion-or-rfv-template |

Etymology 1
From Middle English trappe, from Old English træppe, treppe (“trap, snare”) (also in betræppan (“to trap”)) from Proto-Germanic *trap-, from Proto-Indo-European *dremb- (“to run”).
