How do you spell Triage?
Correct spelling
triage
Think 'tri-' (three) + French '-age' ending: medical triage sorts into priority groups.
Why is triage spelled this way?
From French trier, to sort. Sorting patients by severity. The French '-iage' ending pronounced 'ahzh' is the spelling trap — people write 'treage' or 'triaje'.
