Morphology
trinucleate = nucleate (transparent) = tri + nucle + ate
Clearly formed by the productive prefix 'tri-' (three) added to the adjectival base 'nucleate' meaning 'having a nucleus'; the meaning 'having three nuclei' follows directly.
Etymology
The word trinucleate breaks into tri- 'three' and nucleus 'central part'. So a trinucleate cell is one that has 'three nuclei', which is why the word means 'having three central parts'.
