triangulation

en-noun

triangulation (countable and uncountable, plural triangulations)

/tɹʌɪaŋɡjʊˈleɪʃn̩/

/ˌtɹaɪˌæŋɡjəˈleɪʃən/

From Medieval Latin triangulātiōnem (“triangulation”), from triangulāre (“to triangulate”) + -tiōnem (suffix forming nouns relating to some actions or the results of actions). Triangulāre is derived from triangulāris (“triangular”), from triangulus (“triangular; triangle”), from trēs (“three”) + angulus (“angle; corner”). The English word is analysable as triangulate + -ion, and is cognate with French triangulation.

refn

An engraving from a 16th-century treatise by Levinus Hulsius (1546–1606).

der

One recent attempt to combine both forms of data collection […] was based on a parallel methods approach, in which the results of two similar but separately located studies were triangulated. Triangulation entails overlapping the results at several points to enhance reliability. […] Other documented research has attempted to gain a broader view through the triangulation of two sets of data (quantitative and qualitative) on the same question, taken from the same respondents in a single study.

1999, Carol Grbich, “Qualitative Research: An Introduction”, in Qualitative Research in Health: An Introduction, Crows Nest, N.S.W.: Allen & Unwin, →ISBN, part 1 (Theory and Design), pages 17–18:

Even though triangulation is used in quantitative paradigm for confirmation and generalization of a research, Barbour (1998) does not disregard the notion of triangulation in qualitative paradigm and she states the need to define triangulation from a qualitative research's perspective in each paradigm. For example, in using triangulation of several data sources in quantitative research, any exception may lead to a disconfirmation of the hypothesis where exceptions in qualitative research are dealt to modify the theories and are fruitful.

2003 December 1, Nahid Golafshani, “Understanding Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research”, in The Qualitative Report, volume 8, number 4, page 603:

Multiple sources of data were used to create a triangulation of evidence: books, documentation, archival records and relevant publications by key actors, particularly in the development field, open ended interviews, participant-observation conducted during field work and a case study. […] Triangulation was initially conceptualized as a strategy to validating results achieved with individual research methods. The focus of this research strategy, however, has increasingly shifted towards enriching and complementing knowledge and towards expanding and furthering the potential of individual methods.

2014, Alexander Cárdenas, “Introduction”, in Football: Origins, Paths and New Dimensions: Master’s Thesis, [Munich]: GRIN Verlag, →ISBN, section 1.2 (Research Methods), page 4:

(uncountable, qualitative research) The use of three (or more) researchers to interview the same people or to evaluate the same evidence to reduce the impact of individual bias.


triumvirate

From Latin triumvirātus, from triumvirī (“triumvirs”) + -ātus (“-ate”).

An official group of three people, especially a ruling council of three men and particularly (historical) two such councils in Roman history.


threefold

From Middle English threfold, from Old English þrīfeald. Equivalent to three + -fold.

"We recognise that electrifying more of the railway is likely to be necessary to deliver decarbonisation," it stated.
There's clearly a growing momentum in that direction, but some significant hurdles have still to be overcome - not least the legacy of the three-fold increase in cost on the Great Western Electrification Programme, which has become the poster project for expensive wiring.

Mencius said, 'There are three things which are unfilial, and to have no posterity is the greatest of them. Shun married without informing his parents because of this, lest he should have no posterity. Superior men consider that his doing so was the same as if he had informed them.'

Of all the resolved feet, the Tribrach in Trochaic verse with its ictus on the first syllable ⏑́⏑⏑ is most readily recognised by the ear as equivalent to the Trochee.

Invented by Louis Braille, braille cells were arranged in numerical order and assigned to the letters of the French alphabet. Most braille alphabets follow this assignment for the 26 letters of the basic Latin alphabet or, in non-Latin scripts, for the transliterations of those letters. In such alphabets, the first ten braille letters (the first decade: ⠁⠃⠉⠙⠑⠋⠛⠓⠊⠚) are assigned to the Latin letters A to J and to the digits 1 to 9 and 0. (Apart from '2', the even digits all have three dots: ⠃⠙⠋⠓⠚.)
The letters of the first decade are those cells with at least one dot in the top row and at least one in the left column, but none in the bottom row. The next decade repeat the pattern with the addition of a dot at the lower left, the third decade with two dots in the bottom row, and the fourth with a dot on the bottom right. The fifth decade is like the first, but shifted downward one row. The first decade is supplemented by the two characters with dots in the right column and none in the bottom row, and that supplement is propagated to the other decades using the generation rules above. Finally, there are four characters with no dots in the top two rows. Many languages that use braille letters beyond the 26 of the basic Latin alphabet follow an approximation of the English or French values for additional letters.

(Thai Braille) The vowel ◌ุ (short u) [as in Japanese Braille]


Braille eight-dot extensions from ⟨⠉⟩: ⡉ ⢉ ⣉

Starting in the Zhou Dynasty, the three highest civil posts were: 太師／太师 (tàishī), 太傅 (tàifù), 太保 (tàibǎo). In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three positions were: 太尉 (tàiwèi) (Grand Commandant), 司徒 (sītú) (Minister over the Masses) and 司空 (sīkōng) (Minister of Works).

triune

PIE word
 *tréyes
Borrowed from Medieval Latin triūnus.

Christians believe in a triune God, meaning that he is three hypostases in perfect unity.

1990, Mary Ann Fatula, The Triune God of Christian Faith, Liturgical Press (Michael Glazier Books), page 21,
To be Christian today thus means reflective and critical fidelity to the essential elements of our Christian heritage in scripture and tradition, yet in a way that enables us to respond to the ever new presence of the triune God active in our own experience and world.

2003, Jeffrey C. Pugh, Entertaining the Triune Mystery, Continuum International Publishing Group (Trinity Press International), page 80,
Because the triune God is seen in ways that reflect relationality, God's presence can be expressed in the world in such a way that gnostic separation of the world and God should not be allowed to be a central part of Christian belief.

And in a double movement, the descent of the eternal Son is the Triune God's movement to initiate and enable reconciliation decisively with humanity, which is then followed by the ascent of the human Christ to continue the enabled relationship with the Triune God.

2014, Dick O. Eugenio, Communion with the Triune God, Wipf and Stock, unnumbered page:

(chiefly religion, Christianity) Both trine and one at the same time.


trilling

Diametrically opposed rays of these stellate groups are of the same optical orientation and the twins are, therefore, trillings ( fig. 29 ).

Chrysoberyl is orthorhombic in symmetry. Like many orthorhombic minerals, it readily forms an intergrowth with two other individual crystals to make trillings with six sides or, at least, V-shaped twins.

1974, Mineral Digest, volumes 6-8, page 148:

In the embryonic stage, pseudohexagonal trillings resemble those of the post-embryonic stage (Figure 2D,E), and are 1 to 3 μm in diameter.

2013, Federico Olóriz, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Tovar, Advancing Research on Living and Fossil Cephalopods, page 235:

(crystallography) A compound crystal consisting of three individuals.

Every 67th lying-in woman has twins, every 5333rd has trillings, and only every 150,000th has fourlings.

1842, “Sweden as it is; Moral, Political and Statistical”, in The Foreign Quarterly Review, volume 28, number 55, page 449:

this breed is prominent for its remarkable fecundity and yield of milk; as a rule, this goat litters once a year and drops 2 kids; occasionally trillings and fourlings.

1922, The Goat World, Devoted to the Upbuilding of the Goat Industry, page 67:

About twins and trillings.

troilism

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-troilism.wav

Now if it's true, as I believe, that every woman has a bit of a lesbian streak, or at least curiosity, then it follows that the ideal way to satisfy it is with troilism — making love with two girls and a man. I've tried it myself and I know.

The woman wants to censor us, Hill. If she had her way, all we'd show would be Andy bloody Pandy, and she'd stop him climbing into that basket with Looby Lou - let alone Teddy - lest some child be corrupted by the whiff of puppet troilism. And bestiality, I suppose - or would it be bestiality with a teddy bear... rather than a real bear?

2008, Hugh Carleton Greene, portrayed by Hugh Bonneville in Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story, on his exasperation at Mary Whitehouse's (Julie Walters) attempts to remove any material deemed mildly offensive from BBC TV

threeness (countable and uncountable, plural threenesses)

From three + -ness. Compare Middle English þrinnesse, þrimnesse, þremnesse, þrumnesse (“trinity”, literally “three-ness”), Old English þrīnes, þrinnes (“trinity”, literally “three-ness”).

the Cappadocian Fathers provided a way of speaking about the Trinity which would create a balance between threeness and oneness.

2009, Diarmaid MacCulloch, A History of Christianity, Penguin Books, page 218:

[...] This statement focuses more on God's oness than on his threeness.

2012, Gilles Emery and Matthew Levering, The Oxford Handbook Of The Trinity:

The state of being three; triunity; trinity.
