1. c.1373, "haul up and fasten with a rope" (v.), from M.Du.
trisen "hoist," from
trise "pulley," of unknown origin. Hence

trijsen "to hoist," and cognate with M.L.G.
trissen (source of Dan.
trisse, Ger.
triezen); its ultimate origin is unknown.
2. From Middle English trīcen, trice, trise (“to pull or push; to snatch away; to steal”), from Middle Dutch trīsen (“to hoist”) (modern Dutch trijsen) or Middle Low German trissen (“to trice the spritsail”); further etymology uncertain. The word is cognate with Danish trisse, tridse (“to haul with a pulley”), Low German trissen, tryssen, drisen, drysen (“to wind up, trice”), German trissen, triezen (“to annoy or torment”). See: Dutch '
