What does TRIUNE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Consisting of three in one, especially three persons or things united as a single whole.
Triune is used above all to describe the Christian Trinity, where Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are said to be three persons in one God. Outside theology the word can describe any threefold unity acting as a single thing, such as a triune council or a triune root system. It differs from simply triple or threefold by stressing that the three parts form one indivisible whole rather than three separate items.
How TRIUNE is used
Mostly confined to formal, theological, or philosophical writing about a threefold unity, rarely heard in casual speech.
