Times when someone enters another person's land or property without permission, or wrongdoings and offenses.
From Old French 'trespasser' combining 'tres' (across) and 'passer' (to pass). Originally it meant crossing over a line or boundary you shouldn't cross.
The phrase 'forgive us our trespasses' in the Lord's Prayer comes from this word—showing how medieval Christian morality linked the sin of crossing property lines to the sin of crossing moral boundaries!
