tirari

Sicilian

Etymology

From Vulgar Latin *tirō, tirāre (to pull, draw; throw, shoot), perhaps from Proto-Germanic *teraną (to tear away; pull off; tug) from Proto-Indo-European *der- (to split, tear apart; crack, shatter), cf. Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐍄𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌰𐌽 (gatairan, to pull apart; destroy); with influence from Latin trahō, trahere (to drag, pull; draw, attract) from Proto-Indo-European *tregʰ whence English drag, draw. Or potentially related to a reduced form of Late Latin *martyrāre. Compare Italian tirare, French tirer, Portuguese tirar, Spanish tirar. Cognate to German zerren (to tug), English tear, tier, tire.
