Etymology

In summary

From Middle High German traz, from an unknown source whence also Dutch tarten (“to provoke, dare”). Pokorny connects the words to Proto-Indo-European *der- (“to tear”) and compares them with Old English teart (“tart”), while Pfeifer suspects an onomatopoeic origin (DWDS). Others have compared Proto-Germanic *þrawaz (“stubborn, obstinate”).
