Etymology
First attested as tregelaer in 1311. Compound of an unclear first element and laar (“intensively cultivated forest”). The first element has been variously interpreted as Medieval Latin tregula (“fencing”), Middle Dutch trege (“slow, languid”), Middle Dutch tregen (“to sadden”), Middle Dutch regel (“barrier”) and dialectal reen (“boundary line”). None of these interpretations match the oldest attestation.
