tricher
French
Etymology
From Old French trichier, tricher, probably from Vulgar Latin *triccāre, from Late Latin tricāre, from Latin trīcor, trīcārī (“behave in an evasive manner, search for detours; trifle, delay”), from trīcae. Related to Italian treccare, Old Occitan trichar, Catalan and Occitan trigar, Portuguese trigar. Alternatively possibly of ultimately Germanic origin; compare also English trick.
