Etymology 1
From Middle English trien ( “ to try a legal case ” ) , from Anglo-Norman trier ( “ to try a case ” ) , Old French trier ( “ to choose, pick out or separate from others, sift, cull ” ) , of uncertain origin. It is probably related to Italian tritare ( “ to grind; to sort; to analyze ” ) [ 1] (see also French trier ). Alternatively, believed to be a metathetic variation of Old French tirer ( “ to pull out, snatch ” ) , from Gothic 𐍄𐌹𐍂𐌰𐌽 ( tiran , “ to tear away, remove ” ) , from Proto-Germanic *teraną ( “ to tear, tear apart ” ) , from Proto-Indo-European *der- ( “ to tear, tear apart ” ) , see tear . Related to Occitan triar ( “ to pick out, choose from among others ” ) , although the Occitan verb could also be a borrowing from French. Alternatively or by confluence , the Old French is from Gallo-Roman Vulgar Latin *triare , of unknown origin.
Replaced native Middle English cunnen ( “ to try ” ) (from Old English cunnian ), Middle English fandien ( “ to try, prove ” ) (from Old English fandian ), and Middle English costnien ( “ to try, tempt, test ” ) (from Old English costnian ).

Usage notes
( to attempt ) : This is a catenative verb that takes the to infinitive. Conjugations unmarked for tense can take and instead of to , for which also see Citations:try .
I'm going to try to distract him.
I'm going to try and distract him.
And still requires that the two verbs be in the same mood, as and normally does, but the second verb must still be in the bare form as it is after to . For this reason, and can only be used where both try and the subsequent verb are in the unmarked form. Accordingly, He will try and explain , I try and explain , and the imperative Try and explain occur, but not *He tries and explain/explains , *He tried and explain/explained, or *He is trying and explain/explaining. In the latter contexts, only to will be used: He tried to explain. Because try and is often prescriptively deprecated, it is best avoided in formal writing (aiming for the audience's approval), but descriptively it is a fact that try and is an idiomatic form.
( to make an experiment ) : This is a catenative verb that takes the gerund (-ing) .
See Appendix:English catenative verbs
In older forms of English, when the pronoun thou was in active use, and verbs used -est for distinct second-person singular indicative forms, the verb try had the form triest , and had triedst for its past tense.
Similarly, when the ending -eth was in active use for third-person singular present indicative forms, the form trieth was used.
