    Greek: Trigona = "three angles" Metron = "measure".

    Trigonometry is the study of triangles.

    This doesn't sound very useful except in a handful of cases, but triangles and the rules we derive from them can translate into a ridiculous amount of branches of physics, mathematics, and other sciences that are core to our society.
