What does TRINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A group of three considered together; a triad.
A trine is simply a set of three things treated as one unit, from the Latin trinus, meaning threefold. The word survives today mostly in astrology, where a trine describes a favorable angle of about a hundred and twenty degrees between two planets, a third of the full circle of the zodiac. Outside astrology, trine is now rare and turns up mainly in older or deliberately archaic writing rather than everyday speech. An older adjective sense of trine, meaning threefold, is now almost never heard.
How TRINE is used
Now mostly found in older or literary writing, and, more technically, in astrology for a particular angle between two planets.
