Greek trigon "triangle". The second part of trigonometry is from Greek metron "a
measure." The Indo-European root is probably me- "to measure." Trigonometry is
literally the measuring (of angles and sides) of triangles. Historically speaking, the
triangular approach to trigonometry is ancient, wheres the circular approach now
taught in our schools is relatively recent.
