Morphology
triad = tri- (transparent) = tri + ad
The construction denotes 'three' + a grouping element, so the general sense 'a group of three' is transparently derived from the parts.
Etymology
Triad comes from the Greek root tri- meaning 'three', like in trio or triple, so the word names a set of 'three people or things' that are joined or seen as one unit.
