🌳Etymology
Origin
From Latin 'trivialis' meaning 'of little worth or common', derived from 'trivium' meaning 'crossroads' or 'a place where three roads meet'. The word evolved from the sense of something commonly found at crossroads (and therefore commonplace) to mean something of little importance.
