trisector
Divides into thirds
A trisector is something that divides into three equal parts.
In geometry, a trisector is a line or plane that cuts an angle or segment into thirds: The angle's trisectors created three congruent sections.
The term appears most often in mathematical contexts, particularly discussions of the classical problem of trisecting an angle with compass and straightedge alone.
