Note
One spelling does double duty here, because trick is a regular verb: she tricked him is simple past, while he was tricked and they had tricked us are participles. Most uses carry the deceiving meaning, typically with into (tricked into signing). The participle also keeps the dressing sense alive when paired with a particle: tricked out, tricked up, tricked off, meaning adorned, often fantastically.
