Etymology of TRAMMELLED

The word "trammelled" is derived from the noun "trammel", which comes from Middle English "tramail" or "tramaril". The term "tramail" was formed by combining the Old French words "tri-" (meaning "three") and "maille" (meaning "mesh"). Originally, a "trammel" was a fishing net with three layers of mesh designed to catch and entangle fish.

Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include various contrivances made of netting or mesh-like structures. Eventually, "trammel" came to refer to a type of device used for confining or restraining something, particularly in the sense of a hindrance or obstacle. This evolved into the verb form "trammel" (to hamper or hinder) and the adjective "trammelled" (hampered or restricted).
