Proto-West Germanic

Etymology

Unknown; suggested to perhaps be from *þrīsti (“pushiness”) +‎ *-ī (adjective suffix), from earlier *þrinhsti, from *þringwan (“to press, push”) +‎ *-þi.[1][2][3] Cognacy to Latin trīstis (“sad, sorrowful”) is disputed,[4] and a connection to *durstī (“bold, daring”) is tempting, but difficult to morphologically reconcile.
