- late Old English tr?l "bondman, serf, slave," from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse tr?ll "slave, servant," figuratively "wretch, scoundrel," probably from Proto-Germanic *thrakhilaz, literally "runner," from root *threh- "to run" (cognates: Old High German dregil "servant," properly "runner;" Old English tr?gan, Gothic tragjan "to run"). Meaning "condition of servitude" is from early 14c.
