truco o trato; treta o trato: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "truco o trato" es la traducción más asentada de la expresión inglesa "trick or treat". Aunque hay otras traducciones posibles y con uso, "truco o trato" y otras fórmulas como "treta o trato" tienen la ventaja de la semejanza o paronimia fonética con el original. 1, record 1, Spanish, - truco%20o%20trato
