Etymology

"Tranché" comes from the Old French *tranchier* “to cut, divide”, which in turn derives from the Late Latin *trancare* (from Latin *truncare*, “to truncate, cut off”) linked to *truncus* “trunk, stem”. The French verb *trancher* kept this sense of cutting, and its past participle *tranché* was later used as a noun to refer to a cut or sliced portion, ultimately extending metaphorically to a “slice” of a group or activity. The word has preserved this core notion of cutting or dividing since its Latin roots.
