Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *trep- (to thread), perhaps derived/reanalyzed from Proto-Balto-Slavic *treptei (to stomp, to swing) (cf. obsolete Lithuanian trepti (to tramp)), whence Lithuanian trepénti, trepsė́ti (to stomp) (with desiderative-causative extension), Latvian trepêt (to weather out), Old Prussian ertreppa (to cross). Furhter akin to Ancient Greek τραπέω (trapéō, to squeeze), Latin trepidus (agitated), Sanskrit तृप्र (tṛprá, unstable).
