单词 trant
释义

trantn.

Etymology: Origin obscure. Identical in form with Dutch trant ‘manner, way, method, kind’, in Middle Dutch also ‘step, pace’. It is conceivable that from some of these senses there might arise the notion of ‘shift, clever or cunning way or course, device, trick’ (compare French tour and English turn), but historical links are wanting.
northern dialect. Obsolete.
Cunning action, trickery; a stratagem, a trick (always in an evil sense).
