TRICK , a crafty or fraudulent device, deceitful artifice or stratagem, hence an exhibition of skill, especially in sleight of hand or jugglery, the term
peculiar
character or physical
count towards the winning of the game. The origin of the word is ultimately to be found in Lat. tricae, trifles, hindrances, wiles, whence tricari, to delay, shuffle, play tricks, which has also given " intricate," " extricate," " intrigue." The M. Eng. trichen, to cheat or trick, was adapted from the O. Fr. trickier, trechier, whence came trecherie, Eng. " treachery," a betrayal of faith, perfidy or trickery of the grossest kind. There has been also a confusion, which has influenced the meaning and form of " trick," with the Dutch trekken, to pull, draw, cf. the South
