Etymology
From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle French trier, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old French trier (“to choose, pick out or separate from others, sift, cull”), from Gallo-Romance *triare (“to pick out”), a variant of (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Late Latin trītō, trītāre, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latin trītus, the past participle of terō. The word sense originates from granum terere, to beat the corn from the chaff, or trier le grain in modern French, hence the meaning. Italian tritare keeps both senses of the word - to grind and to sort - confirming a common Romance origin. For loss of medial "t" see abbaye.
Old French tirer (“to pull out, snatch”), is a false cognate of Germanic origin.
Related to Occitan triar (“to pick out, choose from among others”), Catalan triar (“to pick, choose”).
