Etymology
The word 'triplex' is derived from the Latin word 'triplex', which means 'threefold' or 'three times'. 'Tri-' is a prefix meaning 'three', and 'plex' comes from the Latin 'plicare', meaning 'to fold'. The usage in architecture likely began in the late 19th to early 20th centuries as urbanization increased and the demand for multi-family housing grew. Triplexes became popular as a way to accommodate the housing needs of growing populations in urban areas while maximizing limited space. The term has since been adopted in various contexts, reflecting the idea of three connected or related units.
