"Trisyllable" is a term that comes from the combination of two words: "tri-" and "syllable".
1. "Tri-" is a prefix derived from the Greek word "treis", meaning "three". It is used to indicate "threefold" or "three".
2. "Syllable" comes from the Latin word "syllaba", which is ultimately derived from the Greek word "sullábē", meaning "a taking together". It refers to a unit of pronunciation with one vowel sound, typically with one or more consonant sounds before or after it.
By combining "tri-" with "syllable", the word "trisyllable" is formed, indicating a word or term that consists of three syllables.
