Etymology
1. 1297, "negotiate, bargain, deal with," from O.Fr.
traitier (12c.), from L.
tractare "manage, handle, deal with," originally "drag about," frequentative of
trahere (pp.
tractus) "to pull, draw" (see tract (1)). Meaning "to entertain with food and drink by way of compliment or kindness (or bribery)" is recorded from c.1500. Sense of "deal with in speech or writing" (c.1325) led to the use in medicine (1781), "to attempt to heal or cure." The noun is first recorded 1375, "action of discussing terms;" sense of "a treating with food and drink" (1651) was extended by 1770 to "anything that gives pleasure."
Treatment "conduct, behavior" is recorded from c.1560; in the medical sense, it is first recorded 1744.
2. From Middle English treten, from Anglo-Norman treter, Old French tretier, traiter, from Latin tractāre (“to pull", "to manage”), from the past participle stem of trahere (“to draw", "to pull”). See: Anglo-Norman '
treter', Latin '
tracto'.
