trigram = gram (transparent) = tri + gram
Formed by the productive numeric prefix 'tri-' (three) plus the combining form 'gram' meaning a unit/record, so the meaning 'three-unit/three-letter sequence' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Trigram comes from the parts tri- meaning 'three' and -gram meaning 'a written sign', the same -gram you see in telegram, so it literally means a 'three-sign' group; that's why in language work a trigram is a simple group of three words, letters, or symbols used to study text.
