意味（1）

Assessment or sorting according to quality, need, etc., especially to determine how resources will be allocated.

Let us think of triage, and remember the word's origins. It began with French wool growers in the eighteenth century, but its most illuminating use comes from eighteenth century coffee bean growers, who sorted their beans into best, middling, and broken. The last category came to be known as 'triage coffee.' In war we attend to the most seriously wounded first, which is how most of [us] understand the word today. […] Therefore to protect the best and the middling, we must sell off our 'triage coffee.'

意味（2）

(medicine) The process of sorting patients so as to determine the order in which they will be treated (for example, by assigning precedence according to the urgency of illness or injury).

意味（3）

(computing, by extension) The process of prioritizing bugs to be fixed.

意味（4）

That which is picked out, especially broken coffee beans.

意味（5）

(rail transport, military, Britain) A marshalling yard, classification yard.

Similarly, any group of sidings is known to army railway personnel as a triage. This word is derived from the French verb trier, which means literally to sort, and hence triage has become the common army expression for a marshalling yard.
