Question: Where does the word TRIVIA come from?
A. The word TRIFLING, meaning insignificant or unremarkable
B. Augustus Trivialli, a 17th Century royal physician at the court of King Louis XIV, renowned for his knowledge about a broad range of subjects
C. The Latin for ‘a junction formed by three roads’
D. The popular game ‘Trivial Pursuit’
If you answered C you are correct!
It is widely thought that the word TRIVIA originates from the Latin for ‘three’ (TRI) and ‘road’ (VIA).
Back in the days of the Roman Empire it was common for public rest-houses or taverns to be situated at the junctions where three roads converged. Travellers would break their journey by visiting the taverns to gossip and chat about the latest news.
