TRIPLE Meaning and Definition

  1. Triple is an adjective and noun that offers several interpretations depending on context. As an adjective, it denotes the number three times larger or threefold. In this sense, it highlights the idea of consisting of three elements or parts. For example, a triple espresso refers to a strong coffee beverage made with a three-fold amount of coffee compared to a regular espresso.

    On the other hand, as a noun, triple typically indicates a group or collection of three items or people. It emphasizes the notion of a set or series having three components. For instance, a gymnastics routine involving three consecutive flips or somersaults would be considered a triple flip. Similarly, a set of three identical or closely related events, objects, or individuals can be referred to as a triple. In sports, a triple is commonly associated with three consecutive successful performances, such as scoring three goals in a single game or hitting a baseball for a three-base hit.

    Furthermore, triple can also function as a verb, representing the act of multiplying something by three or increasing it three times. For instance, if a recipe instructs you to triple the amount of sugar, it means to increase it threefold.

    In summary, triple is an adjective, noun, and verb that generally connotes the number three times larger, a collection of three elements, or the act of multiplying by three or increasing threefold.
