Etymology

The word 'triangularly' is derived from 'triangular,' which comes from Latin 'triangulus,' meaning 'three-cornered.' The root 'tri-' means 'three,' and 'angulus' means 'corner' or 'angle.' The transition to English occurred in the late 15th century, as the language absorbed many Latin terms through scholarly and scientific texts. The addition of the suffix '-ly' transforms the adjective 'triangular' into an adverb, indicating a manner of action or appearance related to the triangular shape. Over the centuries, the word has found its place in various domains, including mathematics, geometry, and architecture, denoting arrangements or formations that involve three points connected by straight lines.
