Meaning & History
Derived from Latin trivium meaning "a place where three roads meet, a crossroads". In Roman mythology this was the name of a goddess of the night and crossroads, usually associated with witchcraft and sorcery as well as ghosts and childbirth. She was the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Hecate (who was called in Greek Ἑκάτη Τριοδῖτις (Hekate Trioditis) "Hecate of the crossroads", from τρίοδος (triodos) "a meeting of three roads").
