Etymology
Triglyceride starts with tri- meaning 'three', the same tri- you see in triangle. The glycer- part comes from a word for 'sweet' and appears in glycerin. So a triglyceride is a fat made of 'three' fatty parts attached to a glycerol piece, which is why it names the common energy fat in the body.
