Made or existing in three identical copies; three identical versions of the same thing.
From Latin 'triplicatus,' combining 'triplex' (threefold) and '-ate.' Used in English since the 15th century for official documents.
Before computers, important documents were often made in triplicate so one copy went to three different places—it was the original backup system to make sure information didn't get lost!
