Origin

Mid 16th century: from Latin tritus, past participle of terere 'to rub'.

The idea behind trite is one of wearing something away by use and perhaps also of causing irritation through repetition. The word first appeared in English in the mid 16th century, from a form of Latin terere ‘to rub’. An old meaning, now obsolete, was ‘physically worn away or frayed’.
