Origin Mid 19th century: from South African Dutch trek (noun), trekken (verb) 'pull, travel'. The Boers were originally Dutch settlers in South Africa, who got their name from the Dutch for ‘countryman, farmer’ (see boor). Between 1835 and 1837 large numbers of Boers, discontented with British rule in the Cape area of South Africa, migrated north and eventually founded the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State. This was the Great Trek, which largely introduced the Dutch word trek to the English-speaking world. It came from trekken ‘to pull, travel’, from which track may also derive. During the 19th century the word was restricted to South African contexts, but during the 20th migrated into international English for any long, arduous journey. The US science-fiction television programme Star Trek was not a success when it was first shown in 1966 and has given us Trekkie as a word for a Star Trek fan. The ‘pull’ sense of trekken lies behind the thing you pull on a gun, the trigger (early 17th century).
