tretn.

Brit.

/trɛt/, U.S.

/trɛt/

Etymology: Known c1500; origin and history obscure. Generally conjectured either to be identical with Old French and Anglo-Norman tret , variant of trait act of drawing, draught, etc. (see trait n.), or to represent Old French traite ‘a draught..a transportation, vent outward, shipping ouer; and an Imposition vpon commodities exported, or so transported’ (Cotgrave): compare Italian tratta ‘permission or priuilege to transport from out any country any merchandice..also that custome that is paid for things carried out’ (Florio); see also medieval Latin tracta in Du Cange. These senses of the French, Italian, and medieval Latin words do not satisfactorily explain the commercial use of tret in English; but it is possible that the term may have originated in connection with a single class of commodities or of transactions, and have been extended by 1670 to others. See Du Cange s.v. tracta; also Skeat s.v., and E. Weekley in Trans. Philol. Soc. June 1909. Compare also cloff n., draft n. 1, draught n. 13.

Commerce. Obsolete exc. Historical.

An allowance of 4 lb. in 104 lb. (= ¹/ ₂₆) on goods sold by weight after the deduction for tare.The reason or ground of the allowance was apparently forgotten already in the 17th cent., and has been variously given since: see quots.
