trocir

Galician

Etymology

Attested in local Medieval Latin documents as traucire, meaning "to lead; to cross".[1] Probably from Latin trādūcire (“I lead across”) or alternatively from a descendant of Proto-Germanic *þrukjaną (“to press on”), but both etymologies are objectionable.[2]

Verb

trocir (first-person singular present trozo, first-person singular preterite trocín, past participle trocido)

  1. (archaic) to swallow
    Synonyms: engulir, tragar
