Morphology

trifold = fold (transparent) = tri + fold

The prefix 'tri-' clearly indicates three, and 'fold' refers to bending or folding, making the meaning straightforward.

Etymology

Trifold comes from the parts tri- meaning 'three' and fold meaning 'to bend', so imagine a sheet of paper bent into three parts. That's why trifold describes something made with three folding sections.
