The actual etymology is uncertain. The epithet Tritogeneia (Τρῑτογένειᾰ (Trītogéneiă)) was possibly originally from the root τρῐ́τος (trĭ́tos, “third”).

est et Athenaeis in moenibus, arcis in ipso / vertice, Palladis ad templum Tritonidis almae, / quo numquam pennis appellunt corpora raucae

c. 99 BCE – 55 BCE, Lucretius, De Rerum Natura 6.750

(please add an English translation of this quotation)

… At gemini lapsu delubra ad summa dracones

29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 2.225–226

But the twin serpents with a gliding flee to the highest shrines and seek the citadel of savage Tritonis

effugiunt saevaeque petunt Tritonidis arcem,

is sua iecit humo monitu Tritonidis arma / fraternaeque fidem pacis petiitque deditque

Interea Theseus sociati parte laboris / functus Erectheas Tritonidos ibat ad arces.

Sed sive armigerae rident Tritonidis arces
seu Lacedaemonio tellus habitata colono
Sirenumve domus, det primos versibus annos

c. 27 CE – 66 CE, Petronius, Satyricon 5.1.9

1913 translation by Michael Heseltine, W. H. D. Rouse, E. H. Warmington
But whether the fortress of armoured Tritonis smiles upon him, or the land where the Spartan farmer lives, or the home of the Sirens, let him give the years of youth to poetry, and let his fortunate soul drink of the Maeonian fount.

Maeoniumque bibat felici pectore fontem.

Hanc, ut fama, deus, quem toto litore pontus
Audit ventosa perflantem marmora concha,
Hanc et Pallas amat, patrio quae vertice nata
Terrarum primam Libyen—nam proxima caelo est,
Ut probat ipse calor—tetigit, stagnique quieta
Voltus vidit aqua posuitque in margine plantas

61 CE – 65 CE, Lucan, Bellum Civile 9.354

1928 translation by J. D. Duff
This lake, as legend tells, is dear to the god, who is heard by all the sea-shore as he fills the waters with the music of his windy shell; and dear to Pallas too. When she was born from her father’s head, she alighted on Libya before any other land; for Libya, as its heat alone proves, is nearest the sky; and there she saw her face in the still water of the pool, and stood by its brink, and called herself Tritonis after the lake she loved.

stridoremque rotae cadentis audis; / quae Tritonide fertilis Athenas / unctis, Baetica, provocas trapetis

1916 translation by Frank Justus Miller, G. P. Goold
The hag, eyeing her askance as she flees, mutters awhile, grieving to think on the goddess’ joy of triumph. Then she takes her staff, thick-set with thorns, and, wrapped in a mantle of dark cloud, sets forth. Wherever she goes, she tramples down the flowers, causes the grass to wither, blasts the high waving trees, and taints with the foul pollution of her breath whole peoples, cities, homes. At last she spies Tritonia’s city, splendid with art and wealth and peaceful joy; and she can scarce restrain her tears at the sight, because she sees no cause for others’ tears.

vixque tenet lacrimas, quia nil lacrimabile cernit.

Hac Arethusa tenus; geminos dea fertilis angues
curribus admovit frenisque coercuit ora
et medium caeli terraeque per aera vecta est
atque levem currum Tritonida misit in urbem
Triptolemo partimque rudi data semina iussit

8 CE, Ovid, Metamorphoses 5.645, ("Tritonida...urbem")

1916 translation by Frank Justus Miller, G. P. Goold
With this, Arethusa’s tale was done. Then the goddess of fertility yoked her two dragons to her car, curbing their mouths with the bit, and rode away through the air midway between heaven and earth, until she came at last to Pallas’ city. Here she gave her fleet car to Triptolemus, and bade him scatter the seeds of grain she gave, part in the untilled earth and part in fields that had long lain fallow.

spargere humo, partim post tempora longa recultae.

(Greek mythology) of Athena (used as epithet of her namesake city Athens)

For what else are many commonwealths than so many camps fortified against one another with guards and arms, the state of which […] is to be taken as the state of nature, that is, the state of war?

Certe status civilis praefert bonum commune particulari, quod solum respicitur in statu naturae; aptior est naturae humanae prae statu naturali; perfectior est statu naturae.

1845, Dionisio Piccirilli, Philosophiae Universae Institutiones […] , volume 3, page 229:

The civil state certainly prefers the common good to the particular, which alone is respected in the state of nature; it is more fitted to human nature than the state of nature, and more perfect than the state of nature.

1683, Richard Cumberland, De legibus naturae disquisitio philosophica […] , page 54:

But it was especially shameful for Hobbes to err in this matter, or in this place; for it was disgraceful for him to accord to anyone in the state of nature a peculiar privilege of civil society precisely where he pretends to discuss with the greatest accuracy the difference between these states […]

u r b e m q u a m s t a t u o v e s t r a e s t.

late AD 4th century, Diomedes Grammaticus, Artis Grammaticae libri III 440.16–23

Attic, which favours concision, allows solecisms [which], when learned men have committed them, are called not solecisms but figures of speech, as for instance “nuda genu” [Virgil, Aeneid 1.320] and “urbem quam statuo vestra est” [opere citato 1.573]. For in those places [Virgil] ought to have said “nudum genu habens” and “urbs quam statuo vestra est”. But in service to the [rhetorical] figure, that which is called Hellenism has reduced the three parts of speech to the two of usage on account of Atticism.

ibi enim nudum genu habens debuit dicere et urbs quam statuo vestra est. sed serviens schemati quod appellatur hellenismos tres partes orationis redegit in duas usus per Atticismon.

In one part Enceladus brandishes Pindus, torn from its base, and sends it whirling to the stars, while Ossa is the missile of frenzied Typhoeus; Porphyrion snatches up Pangaeus, Damastor lifts up Rhodope along with Strymon’s spring, and when the glowing thunderbolt comes down he hurls the river at it and quenches it.

As the tree named after the goddess (the Ficus Ruminalis) was associated with Romulus and Remus, the name was supposed in ancient times to be derived from a form like Rōmula (see Rōma). Another potential source of influence would be rūmen (“throat”).

(Roman mythology) Rumina (goddess of nursing mothers)

Dixerunt eum Victorem, Inuictum, Opitulum, Inpulsorem, Statorem, Centumpedam, Supinalem, Tigillum, Almum, Ruminum et alia quae persequi longum est. Haec autem cognomina inposuerunt uni deo propter causas potestatesque diuersas, non tamen propter tot res etiam tot deos eum esse coegerunt: quod omnia uinceret, quod a nemine uinceretur, quod opem indigentibus ferret, quod haberet inpellendi, statuendi, stabiliendi, resupinandi potestatem, quod tamquam tigillus mundum contineret ac sustineret, quod aleret omnia, quod ruma, id est mamma, aleret animalia. In his, ut aduertimus, quaedam magna sunt, quaedam exigua; et tamen unus utraque facere perhibetur. Puto inter se propinquiora esse causas rerum atque primordia, propter quas res unum mundum duos deos esse uoluerunt, Iouem atque Ianum, quam continere mundum et mammam dare animalibus; nec tamen propter haec opera duo tam longe inter se ui et dignitate diuersa duo dii esse compulsi sunt; sed unus Iuppiter propter illud Tigillus, propter illud Ruminus appellatus est. Nolo dicere, quod animalibus mammam praebere sugentibus magis Iunonem potuit decere quam Iouem, praesertim cum esset etiam diua Rumina, quae in hoc opus adiutorium illi famulatumue praeberet. Cogito enim posse responderi, et ipsam Iunonem nihil aliud esse quam Iouem, secundum illos Valerii Sorani uersus, ubi dictum est: Iuppiter omnipotens regum rerumque deumque Progenitor genetrixque deum. Quare ergo dictus est et Ruminus, cum diligentius fortasse quaerentibus ipse inueniatur esse etiam illa diua Rumina? Si enim maiestate deorum recte uidebatur indignum, ut in una spica alter ad curam geniculi, altera ad folliculi pertineret: quanto est indignius unam rem infimam, id est ut mammis alantur animalia, duorum deorum potestate curari, quorum sit unus Iuppiter, rex ipse cunctorum, et hoc agat non saltem cum coniuge sua, sed cum ignobili nescio qua Rumina, nisi quia ipse est etiam ipsa Rumina; Ruminus fortasse pro sugentibus maribus, Rumina pro feminis. Dicerem quippe noluisse illos Ioui femininum nomen inponere, nisi et in illis uersibus "progenitor genetrixque" diceretur, et inter eius alia cognomina legerem, quod etiam Pecunia uocaretur, quam deam inter illos minuscularios inuenimus et in quarto libro commemorauimus. Sed cum et mares et feminae habeant pecuniam, cur non et Pecunia et Pecunius appellatus sit, sicut Rumina et Ruminus, ipsi uiderint.

Augustine of Hippo, De Civitate Dei 7.11

1963 translation by William M. Green
The pagans have called Jupiter by the titles Victor, Invictus, Opitulus, Impulsor, Stator, Centumpeda, Supinalis, Tigillus, Almus, Ruminus, and still others which it would be tedious to enumerate. They have applied all these names to one god for various reasons and because of his various powers. But they have not, though there are so many functions, compelled him to become as many different gods. The functions are that he is victor over all, and invincible, and brings help to the needy, and has the power of impelling, of causing to stand, of stabilizing, and of laying flat; because he maintains and sustains the world like a beam; because he nourishes all things, and nourishes all animals by the breast (ruma). Among these functions, as we observe, some are important and some unimportant, yet one god is supposed to perform both kinds. In my judgement there is a closer relation between the causes of things and their beginnings, for which they would have one universe identical with two gods, Jupiter and Janus, than there is between maintaining the world and giving the breast to animals. However, there was no necessity for having two gods even for two tasks so different from each other in display of power and dignity; the one god Jupiter was called Tigillus for the one task and Ruminus for the other. I will not say that it would have been more appropriate for Juno than for Jupiter to furnish the breast to sucking animals, especially since there was also a goddess Rumina to furnish her help and service for this work. For I think the reply can be made that Juno herself is none other than Jupiter, according to these verses of Valerius Soranus, where it is said: 'Jupiter, mighty Father of kings and of gods and / of all things, / Mother as well of the gods . . .' Why then was he also called Ruminus, when, if perhaps we were to inquire more carefully, we might find that he is also identical with the goddess Rumina? If there was good reason for supposing it unsuitable to the dignity of the gods, in the case of one stalk of wheat, that one god should have the care of the knots, another that of the sheath, how much more unworthy is it that one low task, namely, to see that animals get nourishment from the breast, should require the power of two deities. One of them was Jupiter, himself king of all things, and he performed this task not along with his wife, but with some unknown Rumina. Unless he is himself Rumina—Ruminus perhaps for suckling males and Rumina for females. Of course I might say that they were unwilling to give Jupiter a woman’s name, except that it was said of him in those verses I quoted, “Father and Mother as well,” and except that among his other names I have read that he was also called Pecunia. I found this goddess among those petty gods, and have mentioned her in the fourth book. But since both males and females have money, why was Jupiter not called both Pecunia and Pecunius, as he is called Rumina and Ruminus? I leave the answer to them.

Consus

Consus m sg (genitive Consī); second declension

Contentious. Frequently linked to condo (“store”); Miano (2015) deems this etymology "hazardous and questionable".
In antiquity, Consus was linked by folk etymology to consero (“sow”), and to Consivius, an epithet of Ops (as Consivia), Jove, and Janus.
A connection to consilium (“council”), espoused by some ancient authors, has found some support among modern scholars.

et nunc ara Conso illi in circo demersa est ad primas metas sub terra

c. 160 CE – c. 225 CE, Tertullian, De spectaculis 5

even now there is an altar to that Consus buried in the circus, under the ground by the first turning-post
