Trachle (verb)

trach-l

To fatigue; tire; wear out.

Trachle, “to fatigue, tire,” is of uncertain origin, but the leading hypothesis is that the term comes from dialectal Dutch tragelen, “to walk laboriously,” related to standard Dutch traag, “slow, sluggish.”

Example sentences

“the long walk trachled the horses and they trudged back up the lane to the house.”
