Morphology
trialist = trialism (opaque) = tri + al + ism + ist
The visible string trial is misleading here; the sense depends on the rarer base trialism, historically built from tri- + -al + -ism, so the meaning is not recoverable from trial + -ist.
Etymology
Trialist in this sense comes from the part tri- meaning 'three' and the ending -ist meaning 'a person'. So a trialist is someone who supports dividing power into three parts, like a 'trio' or 'triangle' that has three parts.
