Etimologie (Engels)

Probably from Aramaic תרף / ܬܪܦ (trap̄). Its meanings “to sink in, to disappear; to be or become soft, to become digested or dissolved; to perish, to become ruined” are apparently from a basic meaning “to remain behind” as evidenced by South Semitic languages, widely used in Ethiopian Semitic, Ge'ez ተርፈ (tärfä), ተረፈ (täräfä) as ”to be left behind” and then from “to be left over” “to be excessive, to be superfluous”, Sabaean 𐩩𐩧𐩰 (trf, “to be left over, to remain, to be residual”), and in the other direction Soqotri terof (“to be in good health”). Surely an ancient agglutination of feminine or reflexive prefix to a stem equivalent to that of رَفَّ (raffa, “to flutter; to flare”), thence also causative رَفَأَ (rafaʔa, “to patch, to apply something on top to fix; to leave (the ship) behind, to dock”).
