Its name comes from two of the main ways of conceptualizing it. Firstly, it is the amount by which a stack of three [[1024/891]] inframinor thirds falls short of a [[243/160]] lamb fifth, hence the first part of the comma's name – from the Latin ''tri-'' prefix plus the Latin word [[Wiktionary: agnus #Latin|''agnus'']], with the linking ''-o-'' replacing the ending of "agnus".
