This is a quick guess. Could be completely wrong.
My guess is that Entriken is of Swedish origin. Using the translation
dictionary at
http://www-lexikon.nada.kth.se/skolverket/swe-eng.shtml We find the
following possible sources. From this quick check one might guess the word
could mean any of the following.
a trick, about trick, or one trick
a tricot, about tricot, or one tricot
a twilled cloth, about twilled cloth, or one twilled cloth
a knitted fabric, about knitted fabric, or one knitted fabric
a country, a state, or a land
etc.
