Are you a word wiz?
  "Trite" comes to us directly from the Latin word "tritus,"
which is the past participle of the verb "terere." What do
you think "terere" means?

  A. "to bore to death"
  B. "to rub or wear away"
  C. "to be busy as a bee"
  D. "to fit together perfectly"

Answer: 
  The newness and originality has worn off something that is
"trite," so it makes sense that "trite" would come from a
word that means "to wear away." Latin "terere" means "to rub"
or "to wear away by rubbing," and that idea is extended in the
derived form "tritus," the source of English "trite." English
speakers first started using "trite" in the mid-1500s to
refer to something so overused that its "shine" or newness is
worn away. Back then "trite" was occasionally used literally
(one early writer spoke of his "garments trite"), but the
original figurative meaning took off and is the one we use
today.
