What is a trivet? A metal stand with short feet, used under a hot dish on a table.
A three legged stand made of metal, used for supporting cooking [Middle English trevet, stand for cooking vessels, from Old English trefet, probably alteration (influenced by Old English thrifēte, three-footed) of Latin tripēs, triped- : tri-, tri- + pēs, foot.]
