Etymology
**Tricher** comes from Old French *tricher* (12th c.) meaning “to cheat, deceive.”
The verb is derived from the noun *triche* “a trick, cheat,” which in turn traces back to a Latin verb *tricere* “to cheat, deceive.”
The Latin root’s origin is uncertain, possibly from a Germanic source, and the term entered Middle French in the 13th century, preserving its sense of deception.
