Etymology

Cognate with Spanish: traición

In summary

First attested in the 14th century. Semi-learned borrowing from Latin trāditiōnem (the suffix in this word indicates a semi-learned form or a formation from trair + -ció; a fully inherited result would have ended in -çó or -ó; compare the similar case of Spanish traición). Doublet of tradició, a later borrowing.
