Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Probably originally a root aorist, present singular *tred-, non-singular *trud-, from a possible Pre-Germanic *dret-, which could theoretically be an extension of Proto-Indo-European *dr-, compare *drem- and *dreh₂-.[1] Akin to Proto-Slavic *dьrtěti (“to degrade, to age”).

Pronunciation

Verb

*trudaną

  1. to tread, to step on

Inflection

The present tense has the zero grade vowel -u- rather than -e-. The past participle might have had either.
