According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the words paramount and tantamount do not share any roots:

paramount [AN paramont : OFr. par, by (< Lat. per) + OFr. amont, above.]

tantamount [< obs. tantamount, an equivalent < AN tant amunter, to amount to as much.]

So not only is there no trio to complete, you don't even have a duo.
