▪ I. † trape, v. Obs. or dial.
Also ? 5 trappe.
[Origin obscure. If quot. c 1400 belongs here, it may possibly be = MDu. and MLG. trappen to tread, trample, in Kilian ‘calcare, conculcare pedibus’, in EFris. (Doornkaat-Koolman), to set down the foot with force and noise, to tramp.
But this is doubtful, as there is a long gap between 1400 and 1706, and trape is not phonetically identical with trappe. Trape of 1706–49 is moreover preceded 1593–1700 by traipse v., of which it may have been a mutilated form.]
