The undisputed true origins of the term âhat trickâ comes from the wildly popular sport, cricket. Interestingly, the use of the term is different than in other sports in that it is awarded for defensive play, rather than offensive.
Evidence suggests the term is a recent coinage. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest occurrence of it in print was in 1988. The phrase we still tak'em and mak'em was found in a sporting context in 1973 in reference to Sunderland Cricket & Rugby Football Club.
