Etymology
The term 'triply' comes from the Latin word 'triplex', meaning 'threefold'. It is formed from 'tri', which means three, and 'plex', which indicates that something is folded or combined. The use of triply in the English language can be traced back to the 19th century, where it appeared in various literary and academic contexts to describe an increase in quantity or intensity. It has since been adopted in everyday language, often used in discussions around qualitative assessments, scientific measurements, and descriptive narratives where a threefold increase or comparison is relevant.
