Root Explanation

Triplicity → It is formed from "tri-" (meaning three) and "plicare" (meaning to fold). The word "triplicity" refers to the state of being threefold or consisting of three parts.

Memory Tip

Think of 'three' ('tri-') being 'folded' ('plicare') together — that's why triplicity means having three parts.
