Definitions and meaning of trivia

trivia

Pronunciation

  • (Canada, UK, US) IPA(key): /ˈtɹɪvi.ə/
  • Rhymes: -ɪviə

Etymology 1

From Latin trivia, plural of trivium (“place where three roads meet”). The term came to be used for any public place, and then for anything commonplace. Furthermore, because the beginners' course at university was called trivium, the word came to be used only for anything basic, simple and trivial.

Noun

trivia (countable and uncountable, plural trivia or trivias)

  1. Insignificant trifles of little importance, especially items of unimportant information.
    These trivia take up too much of the day.
    This trivia takes up too much of the day.
  2. A quiz game that involves obscure facts.
    I joined the trivia club this semester!
Usage notes
  • Formerly, as a word derived from a Latin plural, trivia required a plural verb, as in the first usage example above. Most modern authorities accept a singular verb, and this may be the preferred usage in the US. The "game" sense is always regarded as a singular noun.
