"etymology_text": "The origin of the noun is unknown; the word is possibly related to Old French tryncle (“piece of jewellery”). The following have also been suggested:\n* From Middle English trenket, trynket (“small knife, specifically, a cordwainer’s knife”).\n* From trick (“plaything, toy; trifle”, noun) or trick (verb).\nHowever, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, there is insufficient evidence of any shift of meaning from these words to the current meanings of trinket.\nThe verb is derived from the noun.",

More than one hundred thousand pounds were laid out in dressing the queen, and the procession from the Tower was omitted.",

"etymology_text": "PIE word\n *tréyes\nFrom trink (“(UK, dialectal, especially Scotland) channel, watercourse; trench”) + -et (diminutive suffix); compare Scots trink. Trink is possibly derived from Occitan trencque, trenque (Picardy), from Old French trenche, tranche (“trench”) (modern French tranche), from trenchier (“to cut”); further etymology uncertain, possibly:\n* from Latin truncāre, the present active infinitive of truncō (“to maim or mutilate by cutting off pieces; to truncate”), from truncus (“tree trunk; piece cut off”) (possibly from Proto-Indo-European *twerḱ- (“to carve; to cut off, trim”)) + -ō (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs); or\n* from Vulgar Latin *trinicāre (“to cut into three parts”), from Latin tri- (prefix meaning ‘three’) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *tréyes (“three”)) + duplicāre (“to double by dividing, split in two, tear”);\npossibly also influenced by Gaulish *trincare (“to cut off (the head)”).",
