Etymology of TRIFACIAL

The word "trifacial" is derived from two roots: "tri-" and "facial".

The prefix "tri-" comes from the Latin word "tres", meaning "three". It is used to indicate the number three or a group of three.

The word "facial" is derived from the Latin word "facies", which means "face". It refers to anything related to the face.

Therefore, "trifacial" combines these two roots to represent something that relates to or involves three aspects or parts of the face.
