Three children or offspring born at the same time to the same mother, or three identical or similar things grouped together.
From Latin 'triplus' (triple) plus the suffix '-et' meaning 'small.' First used in English around the 1600s to describe multiple births.
Identical triplets share nearly 100% of their DNA, yet they can still have completely different personalities—it's wild how much environment shapes who we become!
