n. a group of three related literary, dramatic, or musical works
The word "trilogy" originates from Greek, combining "tri-" (meaning "three") and "-logy" (derived from "logos," meaning "study" or "discourse"). It originally referred to a set of three tragedies performed in sequence in ancient Greek drama. Over time, the term expanded to encompass any trio of connected works in literature, film, or other arts. The morphemes preserve their original Greek meanings while adapting to modern usage.
