trigrafer

Trigrafer is a rarely used noun that combines the prefix tri-, meaning three, with the root graph-, meaning to write, record, or describe. Unlike established terms, trigrafer does not have a single, widely accepted definition and is not listed in most standard dictionaries. In informal or speculative writing, trigrafer is sometimes proposed to denote a person who records three parallel streams of information, or a writer who composes three related texts that are intended to be read together.

In technical contexts, the term may be used to describe a device or software capable of producing three graphical outputs from a single input, for example three synchronized charts or graphs displayed in tandem. Because the term is uncommon and ill defined, its meaning is highly dependent on the surrounding discussion, and it is best treated as a provisional label rather than a formal concept.

Etymology: from tri- (three) and graph- (to write, to record) with the agent noun suffix -er. Related terms include trigraph, triad, and triographer, but trigrafer remains distinct and largely speculative.
