The word "trivia" in English comes from the same word in Latin 
meaning "three roads." Trivialities are the sorts of things people 
talk about when they meet at a street intersection. "Trivia" in 
English is a collective noun - it has no singular form. The closest 
we can come is "piece of trivia."
