Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English tryst, trist, from Old French triste, tristre (waiting place, appointed station in hunting), probably from a - source such as Old Norse treysta (to make safe, secure), from traust (confidence, trust, security, help, shelter, safe abode), from Proto-Germanic *traustą (trust, shelter), from Proto-Indo-European *deru-, *dreu-, *drū- (to be firm, be solid).
