Morphology
Tridentine = Trent (semi-transparent) = trident + ine
Morphologically formed from the place-name element plus '-ine' to mean 'relating to the Council of Trent'; while the formation is regular, the liturgical sense is historically specific and not predictable for general learners.
Etymology
Tridentine comes from the Council of Trent, whose Latin name is linked to trident meaning 'three-toothed'. So a Tridentine is the traditional form of the Mass 'of Trent' — the old Latin service set by that council.
