The meaning of 'trinity' as a group of three is clear, but the specific religious or metaphorical connotations may not be immediately obvious.
Etymology
Trinity comes from the simple part tri-, which means 'three', the same bit you find in triangle and triple. It once meant a group of three seen as 'one', so that's why trinity means three things thought of together as a single unit.
