(Chanson de Roland, l. 610.)
Ariosto has Trivigante. Being introduced into the medieval drama, the name became synonymous with a stage fury—
"I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant."
(Hamlet, iii. 2.)
The origin of the word is unknown, but its sense development is strangely different from that of Mahomet (p. [43]).
