The Manuel des Pecchs, treating of the sin of Pride, takes as first example the man--that is unbuxome all Ayens his fader spirital, And seyth Prut/ for thy cursyng, prest. 1. 3016.

Then as before, passing from the figure of a contemptuous gesture to a piece of con temptuous treatment, we have Old Norse pretta, to play a trick, to cheat; prettr, a trick.

Trotz bieten, to bid defiance; trotzen, to defy, to be forward or obstinate, to pout or sulk, to be proud of; trotzig, haughty, insolent, perverse, peevish, sulky.--Griebe, Germ. Diet.

In the dialect of Valencia trotar is to deride, to make a jest of. The analogy of Italian tron/are, tronfiare, to snort, also to huff, snuff, or chafe with anger; also to trump; and thence tronfio, puffed or ruffled with chafing, as a strutting turkeycock (Florio), leads us to believe that the..We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
