трензель

Russian

Etymology

Borrowed from German Trense of the same meaning which has been borrowed from the Dutch trense (“rope, bridle”) in the sixteenth century when they were connected to the Spanish trenza (“plait”), which is perhaps a blend of Old Spanish treça (“plait”), a borrowing from Old French treça (“plait”) – which is possibly with Italian treccia (“plait”) via Vulgar Latin from Ancient Greek τριχία (trikhía, “rope”) –, and trena (“plait”) from Latin trīna, the feminine of trīnus (“tripartite”).
