Word origin

The word 'tread' comes from Old English 'trēad', which means to step or to walk. It has its roots in Proto-Germanic *trēdō, which relates to the act of walking or stepping. The use of 'treaded' as an adjective emerged as various industries began to innovate with material textures that facilitate better grip on surfaces. In modern usage, 'treaded' has become increasingly associated with items like tires, shoes, and various tools designed to enhance performance through improved contact with the ground or surfaces. The development in technology and manufacturing has allowed for sophisticated tread designs that address specific needs in safety and functionality.
