Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish traydor, traïdor, traedor, related to Old Spanish traer (“to betray”) and perhaps a semi-learned borrowing from Latin trāditōrem (“traitor, betrayer”) (the main evidence being its use with a hiatus -aï- in Berceo), from Latin trādō, trādere (“to hand over, abandon something”), from trāns (“across, beyond”) + dō (“to give”).

Sentences
