trebly

In triple measure

Trebly means three times over or in a threefold manner: The task was trebly difficult given the time constraints.

It can also relate to treble in the musical sense—high-pitched or shrill: Her voice rang out trebly above the crowd.

The word is somewhat formal and less common than *triply*.
