The answer
TRICE
What trice means
To pull, haul, or hoist something quickly and with force, especially using a rope or cable.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *trice*, originally a nautical term meaning to haul up or tie, borrowed from Middle Dutch *trisen* or Middle Low German *trisen*, meaning to pull or hoist. The word entered English through maritime vocabulary in the 14th century and retained its seafaring sense before extending to mean "a very short time" (as in "in a trice"), perhaps from the quick motion involved in hauling ropes.
