Etymology: "Triplings" is the plural of "tripling", so it names more than one of the things "tripling" names: a group of three similar items, or a set of three actions. "Tripling" itself is formed from "triple" with the suffix "-ing", the same ending that turns verbs like "walk" into nouns like "walking". The base "triple" comes from Latin "triplus", meaning threefold, which is also the source of "treble" and "triplet".

Synonyms: triplets, triplicates
