Origin of the word Trout

  1. O.E. truht "trout," in part from O.Fr. truite, both from L.L. tructa, perhaps from Gk. troktes "a kind of sea fish," lit. "nibbler," from trogein "to gnaw," from PIE base *tere- (see throw). In late 17c. slang, trusty trout was used in a sense of "confidential friend."
