tirari

Sicilian

Etymology

From Vulgar Latin *tirō, tirāre (“to pull, draw; throw, shoot”), perhaps from Proto-Germanic *teraną (“to tear away; pull off; tug”) from Proto-Indo-European *der- (“to split, tear apart; crack, shatter”), cf. Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐍄𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌰𐌽 (gatairan, “to pull apart; destroy”); with influence from Latin trahō, trahere (“to drag, pull; draw, attract”) from Proto-Indo-European *tregʰ whence English drag, draw. Or potentially related to a reduced form of Late Latin *martyrāre. Compare Italian tirare, French tirer, Portuguese tirar, Spanish tirar. Cognate to German zerren (“to tug”), English tear, tier, tire.
