From τρῐ́τος (trítos) + γεν- (gen-), the root of γίγνομαι (gígnomai), -ής (-ḗs, adjectival suffix). The (i) of τρῐ́τος (trítos) is lengthened to (ī) for the sake of meter: the three short syllables in the sequence shortshortshortlonglong of *Τρῐτογενής (*Tritogenḗs) would break the rules of dactylic hexameter.
