trios
Groups of three
Trios is the plural of trio—a group of three.
The word appears most often in music, where a trio is a composition for three performers or the ensemble itself: The jazz trios played back-to-back sets.
Beyond music, any grouping of three can be a trio: The trios of bridesmaids posed for photos.
