menage-a-trois
Three-person romantic arrangement
A ménage à trois is a sexual arrangement involving three people, typically a couple plus a third partner.
The French phrase means "household of three," suggesting an ongoing domestic situation rather than a one-time encounter, though it's often used for either: They invited a friend into their ménage à trois.
The term sounds more sophisticated than "threesome."
