  1. tri- + (di)alogue.

Toggle Century etymologies Century Dictionary (1)

  1. from Middle Latin trialogus, a colloquy of three persons: a blundering formation, based on the erroneous notion that dialogue (Latin dialogus) means ‘a discourse between two’ (as if from Greek δύο, two, + λόγος, discourse), and intended to represent a compound of Greek τρεῖς (τρι-), three, + λόγος, discourse (cf. trilogy).
