Root Explanation

Trifurcate → It is formed from "tri-" (meaning three) and "furcare" (from Latin, meaning to fork or divide). The word describes the action of dividing into three branches or parts.

Memory Tip

Think of something that splits into 'three' ('tri-') 'forks' or branches ('furcare') — that's what trifurcate means.
