German edit

Etymology edit

From Middle High German trotten (late 14th c.), from Old French trotter, troter (to trot). The French verb is possibly from Old High German trotōn (to press wine) or from a hypothetical Frankish *trottōn (to tread), both related with German treten. An alternative theory derives it from Latin tolutim (trottingly). See French trotter and English trot for more.
