trychuto cut*terh₁-to rub, turn*trewk-to press on and breaktrū́ktito tear into pieces, burst
verbWeak class 1to press onto crowdFrom Proto-Indo-European *trewk- (‘to press on and break’); cognates outside of Germanic include Welsh trychu (‘to cut’), Lithuanian trū́kti (‘to tear into pieces, burst’), trùkti (‘to last, continue’). Other theories derive the root from Proto-Indo-European *terh₁- (‘to rub, bore, twist’).Has been suggested as the origin of Vulgar Latin *trūdicāre, but this appears unlikely.
