The Latin word for three, trēs (tray ss) may seem like an unusual origin for trammel, but keep in mind that a trammel is the name of a fishing net with three layers. It could be helpful to think of a net when using the word to mean a restraint on freedom. My son was upset when I didn’t allow him to drive to San Diego for the concert. He felt I was trying to trammel his freedom. Trammel is spelled T-R-A-M-M-E-L.
