The Latin word can more easily be explained through Germanic languages:
in-treden - Dutch
ein-treten - German
tre-inn - Norse (all: to go into, enter)
Related words in some other languages:
to tread - English
trêdzje - Frisian
träda - Swedish
træde - Danish
tree - Afrikaans
(possibly: τρέχω (to run) - old-Greek)
Two varieties of the word appear in the Oera Linda-book:
verb, 3rd person, past tense
[006/29] WR.ALDA.S OD TRÀD TO RA BINNA.
literally: Wralda's 'od'* treaded into them (or: They received Wralda's 'od' into them)
Dutch: "trad binnen"
(*od: unclear, possibly a word for semen or the male reproductive organ)
noun, plural
[024/28] THÀT HI FON ALLE SIDUM SJVGUN HVNDRED TRÉDUN UT OF SINE HUS MÉI HLAPA
that he can walk seven hundred steps [lit. treads] from all sides out of his house
Dutch: "treden"
