Translations
Etymology
Borrowed from early modern German or late Middle High German treffen, from Old High German treffan, from Proto-Germanic *drepaną. Compare Dutch treffen, which was borrowed in the 15th century. The native Luxemburgish form would be *driefen (or *dreffen); the verb is not inherited anywhere in Central Franconian. Further cognates include English drib, Icelandic drepa, Swedish dräpa. See: Middle High German '
treffen', Old High German 'treffan', Proto-Germanic '
*drepaną', Dutch '
treffen', English '
drib', Icelandic '
drepa', Swedish '
dräpa'.
