Etymology
Τριάντα descends from Ancient Greek τριάκοντα, the classical word for thirty. It combines the root for three with the old decad suffix used to form the tens from twenty upward. Over time the classical -κοντα ending wore down in spoken Greek to -άντα, giving the modern form. The same shift produced its neighbors σαράντα (forty) and εξήντα (sixty).
