Etymology

From Old French tirer ‎(“to draw, pull out with great effort, snatch violently, tear away”), of uncertain origin; possibly from Gothic *𐍄𐌹𐍂𐌰𐌽 ‎(*tiran, “to tear away, remove”), from Proto-Germanic *teraną ‎(“to tear, tear apart”), from Proto-Indo-European *derə- ‎(“to tear, tear apart”). If derived from the Germanic word, cognate with Gothic 𐌳𐌹𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌰𐌽 ‎(distairan, “to tear apart”), 𐌲𐌰𐍄𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌰𐌽 ‎(gatairan, “to tear down, remove”), German zerren ‎(“to tug”). Alternatively from a reduction of Old French martirier, from Late Latin *martyrāre.
