Where this word comes from

Ca. 1900, from English trim, from Middle English trimmen, from Old English trymman. The sense “work out” perhaps after the English expression keep in trim. This sense appears simultaneously in Dutch and German in the later 1960s, so one may have borrowed it from the other.
