Max said" Via has many meanings here is a list according to my latin dictionary. way,road- street,passage,channel,pipe ,windpipe,gullet,stripe,journey,and as a figure of speech it meant "manner"or "right method". Now wheres my calculator lol."
The derivation of the word trivia comes from the Latin "tri-" + "via", which means three streets.
An answer: This is because in ancient times, at an intersection of three streets in Rome (or some other Italian place), they would have a type of kiosk where ancillary information was listed.
I’m so delighted that you actually have a Latin dictionary … me too. Love Latin. But I am sucks in math.
