Root Explanation

Triadic → It is formed from "tri-" (meaning three) and "adic" (from the Greek root "adikos", meaning related to or pertaining to). The word "triadic" refers to something that is related to or consists of three parts or elements.

Memory Tip

Think of 'tri-' meaning three, and 'adic' relating to something — so triadic describes something that involves three related parts.
