“Lo consigue Nadal con otro registro redondo. Se trata de su victoria 100 en París.” — Nadal achieves it with another milestone. It is his 100th victory in Paris.

Semi-learned borrowing from Latin tractāre (“to drag; to handle; to practice”), from tractus (“dragged”), perfect passive participle of trahō (“to drag; to extract”). Cf. also the obsolete or regional inherited doublet trechar (“to cut open and salt eels being dried and cured”). Cognate to English treat and Portuguese tratar.
