Roman goddess of the crossroads, its origin was the Greek Hecate for latinos it was a darker deity who protected more thieves on the way to travellers. The meaning of "game of knowledge on issues of little importance" has two possible origins: that initially were multiple-choice questions with three options (trivia can be translated as three-way), or that is associated with the banal conversations that they were common among travelers who were not known and were in the paradores at the crossroads. By extension, it is all anecdotal data to the main topic. See trivial.
