has identical meaning but is the specialized astrology name

Surface Forms

triplicity singular
triplicities plural

Morphology

triplicity = triple (semi-transparent) = triplic + ity

Formally built from 'triple' + '-ity', but the astrological usage is a specialized technical term (a specific grouping of zodiac signs) that may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Triplicity comes from Latin parts tri- meaning 'three' and -plic meaning 'fold', and it is like the everyday words triple and triplet. So in astrology a triplicity is one of the groups of three zodiac signs that belong together.
