What does TRIGON mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaichistorical
An old term for a triangle, also used for an ancient triangular stringed instrument.
Trigon traces back to the Greek word for three-cornered and once did the job that triangle does in modern English geometry books. Musicians in classical Greece and Rome plucked a small harp built in that same three-sided shape and called it by this name. Astrologers later borrowed trigon for a set of three zodiac signs spaced evenly around the circle, a sense still used in astrology today.
