cantripn.

Brit.

/ˈkantrɪp/, U.S.

/ˈkænˌtrɪp/

Forms: Also cantraip, cantrap.

Etymology: A modern Scots word, of unknown origin: the original phrase appears to have been ‘to cast cantrips’, like to cast figures, horoscopes, nativities, lots, spells: perhaps a perversion of some term of astrology. (Jamieson suggested cant to turn over + raip rope; Mahn Icelandic gan frenzy, frantic gestures (which he renders ‘witchcraft’) + trappa a step.)

A spell or charm of necromancy or witchcraft; a witch's trick or mischievous device. Also jocosely, any playfully mischievous trick; any whimsically mad, eccentric, or extravagant piece of conduct; in to play one a cantrip.
