This is the explanation given by the majority of those who answered a query as to this word in the Pall Mall Gazette of 5 Jan. 1914. Two of these, Mr. R. H. Macaulay, M.A., and Mr. C. B. Lacey, both resident in India in 1888, remember the word as there used in this sense. Several other explanations were suggested, e.g. that tray was for French trier to pick out.
