The word trampled originated from the Old French term trampler, which meant to tread or stamp upon. This Old French term can be traced back to the Latin word trampalare, formed from the combination of trapa (a trap) and par (a verb form meaning to tread or step). Over time, the term trampler evolved into trampled, which is the past participle form of the verb trample.
