traipse (v.): 1590s, of uncertain origin, perhaps from dialectal French trepasser "pass over or beyond," from Old French trespasser "cross, traverse, transgress" (see trespass). Or from a source related to Middle Dutch trappen, dialectal Norwegian trappa "to tread, stamp" (see trap (n.)). Liberman points out that it resembles German traben "tramp" "and other similar verbs meaning 'tramp; wander; flee' in several European languages. They seem to have been part of soldiers' and vagabonds' slang between 1400 and 1700. In all likelihood, they originated as onomatopoeias and spread to neighboring languages from Low German." Related: Traipsed; traipsing.

flit轻快地移动。flutter飘动,振翅飞舞(双写t加-er,表示反复动作。fleet快速的,敏捷的。trip旅行。traipse长途跋涉,令人疲惫的步行。难道是trip得快要死了才叫做traipse?
