Etymology

(deprecated template usage)

From Middle High German triegen, from Old High German triugan, triogan, from Proto-Germanic *dreuganą. The expected form is earlier modern German triegen, the vocalism -ü- being due to influence by lügen (“to lie, to tell lies”), itself originally liegen and thus a rhyming word.
