詞源不詳，可能來自法語方言 trepasser,侵犯，打擾，擅自闖入，詞源同 trespass.或來自日耳曼某語言，如德語 traben,流浪，詞源同 trap,tramp.-s,表反復或過去分詞。

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.
