A gait between walking and running where a person or horse moves at a moderately quick pace, or to move in this way.
From Old French 'troter,' possibly from Frankish origins. The word originally described a horse's gait, and later came to describe human movement at that same speed.
A trot is exactly 8-12 miles per hour for humans—biologically it's the speed where your body transitions from walking's energy efficiency to running's power generation, so it's not a casual choice but an evolutionary crossroads.
