The term ''tritave'' was coined by [[John Pierce]]<ref>[https://www.huygens-fokker.org/bpsite/intervals.html ''The Bohlen-Pierce Site: BP Interval Properties'']</ref>. It was derived from the word ''octave'' by replacing the perceived prefix ''octo-'' (eight, for the eighth degree of the diatonic scale) by ''tri-'' (three, for 3/1). It should be noted, however, that the ''oct'' in ''octave'' is not a prefix, but part of the single-morpheme word derived from Latin [[Wiktionary:octavus#Latin|''octavus'']] ("eighth"). | The term ''tritave'' was coined by [[John Pierce]]<ref>[https://www.huygens-fokker.org/bpsite/intervals.html ''The Bohlen-Pierce Site: BP Interval Properties'']</ref>.
