Common Misspellings for TRAMMEL

Etymology of TRAMMEL

The word "trammel" has an interesting etymology. It comes from the Middle English word "tramail", which was borrowed from the Old French word "tramel" or "tramail". This Old French term, in turn, derived from the Late Latin word "tramacŭlum", which meant a fishing net. The root of the Latin word is "trama", which referred to a weaver's warp or the threads used in a loom.

Over time, the meaning of "tramel" or "trammel" expanded beyond just a fishing net. It came to refer to any kind of net, a device used to confine or restrain, or a framework of ropes used to support or restrain a horse.

Today, the word "trammel" can still be used as a noun to refer to a kind of net or a restriction.
