[Adjective] | "trite" | \ ˈtrīt \
1: hackneyed or boring from much use : not fresh or original
Origin: 1548 ;
Borrowed from Latin trītus "worn by rubbing, (of clothes) threadbare, (of practices) familiar, common, (of words or expressions) commonly used," from past participle of terere "to rub, grind, wear down," going back to Indo-European *terh1- "rub, bore," whence also Greek teírein "to wear down, exhaust," téretron "auger," Old Church Slavic tĭrǫ, trĭti or trŭti "to rub," Lithuanian tiriù, tìrti "to investigate, find out" (< "wear down with questions"), trinù, trìnti "to rub";
* Note : Regarding further connections with Indo-European *terh1- see: note at {throw:1|throw:1}. The past participle trītus and perfect trīvī presuppose *trei̯h1- or *treh1i-. M. de Vaan (Etymological Dictionary of Latin and the Other Italic Languages) suggests an original athematic present *térh1-i- / *trh1-ei̯-. Compare trībulum "threshing board" (see: {tribulation|tribulation}). Note also Greek trī́bein "to rub, chafe, grind, wear down" (see: {tribo-|tribo-}).;
