Etymology

Blend of tri- +‎ dialogue, reinterpreted as di- (two) + -alogue, though actually from Ancient Greek διάλογος (diálogos, conversation, discourse), from διαλέγομαι (dialégomai, to converse), from δια- (dia-, through) + λέγω (légō, to speak).

Note that official documents of the European Union use the spelling trilogue (perhaps influenced by the French spelling).
