Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: triegen

Inherited from Old High German: triugan

In summary

From Middle High German triegen, from Old High German triugan, triogan, from Proto-West Germanic *dreugan.
The expected form is earlier modern German triegen, the vocalism -ü- being due to influence by lügen (“to lie, to tell lies”), itself originally liegen and thus a rhyming word.
