trenchier

Old French

Alternative forms

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly from Vulgar Latin *trinicāre (“cut in three parts”), with the root trini from tres, based on the model of duplicāre; alternatively from an alteration of Latin truncāre, also possibly influenced by or crossed with a Gaulish *trincare (“to cut (the head)”). Compare also Old Occitan trencar.

Verb

trenchier

  1. to cut (make an incision)
