On a three phase system you have incorporated into it a potential of three single phase systems. A-B, B-C, C-A. Any two legs of a three phase system can be used as a single phase load. On a three phase system, be it a motor or a service, if one of the legs drops out for what ever reason, the remaining two legs are known as single phase. This is how the terminology became single phasing. As a side note a motor will run in a single phase condition, it just will not start. In motor control, a single phase condition is prevented by the use of overload heaters on all three voltage legs.
The number of legs in a rig can vary depending on the type of rig. For example, a common offshore drilling rig typically has three or four legs, which provide stability and support. In contrast, land-based rigs usually have a more simplified structure and may not have distinct legs at all. Ultimately, the specific design and purpose of the rig determine the number of legs it has.
In case of a bipolar junction transistor, we have only three terminals (legs). They are emitter, base and collector. But, in case of a MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), we can have four legs. They are source, drain, gate and substrate. The substrate is not being shown in some notations of MOSFET. But it does exist. Hence, a MOSFET has four legs.

That would be a tripod, which does indeed have three legs -- and is a stand.
there are three legs on a tripod (tri -> three, pod -> stand)

No giraffes do not have three legs. Giraffes have only four legs. If they did have three legs then it would probably be hard for them to walk. Let alone stand.
tri[pod
A stand with three legs is called a "tripod." The term "tri-" comes from the Greek word for three, and "pod" means foot, making it a structure that supports objects with three points of contact. Tripods are commonly used in photography, surveying, and for holding various equipment steady. Their design provides stability and balance, especially on uneven surfaces.
A tripod fish is an animal with three legs, but it cannot walk because its legs are modified fins used for anchoring itself on the ocean floor.
