Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: trampeln

Cognate with Dutch: trampelen

Cognate with Middle Low German: trampeln

Cognate with English: trample

In summary

From Middle High German trampeln. Equivalent to trampen + -eln (frequentative suffix). The unshifted -mp- is regular in Central and Low German, but is invariably found in Upper German dialects, too. The onomatopoetic character of the verb does not sufficiently explain this, particularly as Upper German has a shifted ablaut variant trumpfen (“to trample”). Perhaps trampen, trampeln were originally northern and moved southwards during the Middle Ages. Cognate with Dutch trampelen, Middle Low German trampeln, from which English trample.
