trashv.1

Brit. /traʃ/, U.S. /træʃ/
Etymology: Of obscure origin; perhaps the 15th cent. trase v. is the same word. As it is a hunting term, a French origin is naturally suspected, but the Old French trasier , trachier ‘to draw a line through, strike out, efface’, which agrees in form, does not explain sense 1, though it is apparently the origin of sense 2.
Obsolete except in sense 2.
†1. transitive. To check (a hound) by a cord or leash; hence gen. to hold back, restrain, retard, encumber, hinder. Obsolete.
