triathlete

/tɹˈaɪæθlˌit/ noun

An athlete who competes in the triathlon.

Word Origin Triathlete combines Greek tri- 'three' and athlon 'contest' — so a triathlete competes in a three-part race. The root athlon gives us athlete (one who competes for a prize) and athletic. The tri- prefix appears in triangle (three angles), tripod (three feet), and trilogy (three works). The PIE root *trei- is the source of three in many languages.
