trampen
German
editEtymology 1
editA dialectal word which has an unshifted -p- throughout High German. Therefore possibly from Middle Low German trampen, whence also English tramp. Compare also Middle Dutch trampen, whereas only the frequentative trampeln is attested in Middle High German. The word derives from Proto-West Germanic *trampan (“to step”).
