In summary

Semi-learned borrowing from Latin tractāre (“to drag; to handle; to practice”), from tractus (“dragged”), perfect passive participle of trahō (“to drag; to extract”). Cf. also the obsolete or regional inherited doublet trechar (“to cut open and salt eels being dried and cured”). Cognate to English treat and Portuguese tratar.
