The word triple originates from the Middle English word triple, which was adopted from Old French, ultimately descending from the Latin adjective triplus (meaning "triple" or "threefold"), combining the numerical root for three (tri-) with the suffix -plus (meaning "more"). Its etymological roots trace back deep into ancient Indo-European counting systems.
