"Trickiness" comes from "tricky," which has roots in the Middle Dutch word "treken," meaning "to pull, draw, or deceive." The addition of the suffix "-ness" turns it into a noun, indicating the state of being tricky. This suggests a history of pulling someone into a deceptive situation. "Trickiness" therefore refers to the state or quality of being deceptive or difficult to handle.
