Morphology

trigon = triangle (semi-transparent) = tri + gon

Formed from Greek combining elements meaning 'three' + 'angle'; the astrological sense (a group of three signs) is a specialized technical usage, so the relation is partly clear but domain-specific.

Etymology

Trigon comes from Greek parts tri- 'three' and gon 'angle', so it literally means 'three-angled'. In astrology, a trigon is a group of three signs placed like the points of a triangle around the zodiac, which is why the name fits.
