5月22日 Trivia Treasure HuntDid you know that the word trivia comes from the latin word that means a three road junction or something that is common.That in medieval university studies it was used for grammer, rhetoric and logic, the lower division of the seven liberal arts? Yet another piece of trivia! I've included the definitions below. Trivial definitions. Trivia Pronounced: /'triveeuh/ plural noun Meaning: inessential, unimportant, common, everyday, ordinary, familiar, trite, paltry, of no value or petty details and considerations, inconsequential things; trifles; trivialities, trivial details, matters or remarks. Trivial Pronounced: /'triveeuhl/ adjective Meaning 1. of little importance; trifling; insignificant. 2. commonplace, ordinary. 3. Biology (of names of animals and plants) denoting the specific name, as distinguished from a generic, of an organism in binomial nomenclature; A common or Latin name added to the generic name to distinguish the species, for example “ the trivial name for the whole family of terns is ‘sea-swallow’” 4. Math (of the solutions of a set of homogenous equations) having zero values for all the variables Derivation [late ME relating to the trivium, ad Latin trivialis], [New Latin TRIVIA plural of TRIVIUM] 1. In the Middle Ages, medieval university studies, the lower division of the seven liberal arts, comprising grammar, rhetoric and logic. 2.

Trivialize pronounced: /trivee’uhluyz/. verb But the definition of Complete Trivia is far more exciting and something quite uncommon.Were I pedantic I might say something like:- Complete Trivia Meaning: 1.

Oh yeah there is one more definition before we throw the dictionary back on the bookshelf - Trivia Maniac Meaning: A person or persons who are addicted to trivia quizzes and will not rest until the answer to a question is correct.
