Etymology
Τρίο entered Greek as a loanword from Italian trio, a term used in music for a piece written for three performers or the group itself. Italian trio was coined on the model of duo, built from Latin tres and tria, meaning three. Greek borrowed the word directly, keeping it largely indeclinable rather than adapting it to native noun endings.
