Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German traht(e), from Old High German trahta, from Proto-Germanic *drahtuz, from the verb *draganą, whence modern tragen, thus originally “that which is borne/worn/carried”. Cognate with Dutch dracht, English draught. Not related to German trachten (“to seek, strive”), although certain descendants (Eintracht, Niedertracht, Zwietracht) are associated with that verb by contemporary speakers.
