Etymology
First attested as Traiecto in 535. From Middle Dutch maestrecht, from Latin Mosae Traiectum. All forms are derived from the hydronym Maas and tricht (“crossing, ferry”) (derived in turn from Latin traiectus (“crossing”)). The element Maas was added at a later date to distinguish the city from Tricht and Utrecht.
