trinity: trinity: [13] Trinity comes via Old French trinite from Latin trīnitās ‘group of three’. This was a derivative of trīnus ‘threefold’, which in turn came from tria ‘three’, a close relative of English three.
=> three
trinity (n.): early 13c., "the Father, Son and Holy Spirit," constituting one God in prevailing Christian doctrine, from Old French trinite "Holy Trinity" (11c.), from Late Latin trinitatem (nominative trinitas) "Trinity, triad" (Tertullian), from Latin trinus "threefold, triple," from plural of trini "three at a time, threefold," related to tres (neuter tria) "three" (see three). The Latin word was widely borrowed in European languages with the rise of Christianity (Irish trionnoid, Welsh trindod, German trinit?t). Related: Trinitarian.
