Bicycle

Do you know why a bicycle is called a bicycle and a unicycle is called a unicycle? It's because "uni" means "one" and "bi" means "two". Also, the "tri" from triangle means "three", and "quad" from "quadrilateral" means "four".

How many more words do you know with "uni", "bi", or "tri" in them?

Here are a few...

uniform, unique, binary, bisexual, tricycle, trivia
