trisected

Split into thirds

Trisected means divided into three equal parts.

The term appears most often in geometry, where trisecting an angle or line segment means cutting it into thirds: The circle was trisected by three radii.

The classical problem of trisecting an arbitrary angle with only compass and straightedge was proven impossible in the 19th century.
