threefoldly

Threefoldly is an adverb that signifies something happening or being done in three ways, in three parts, or to a threefold degree. It is a less common alternative to "thrice" or "three times." The term emphasizes the concept of triplication or the presence of three distinct elements or aspects.

For instance, one might say a problem is threefoldly complex, indicating it has three significant contributing factors. Similarly, a contract could be threefoldly binding, implying three distinct conditions or promises that make it legally enforceable. The word suggests a structure or a consequence that is composed of or intensified by three parts.

While not as frequently used in modern English, "threefoldly" retains its meaning and can be employed to add a specific emphasis on the number three in a particular context. Its usage often appears in more formal or literary writing where a precise, albeit less common, expression is desired. The adverb inherently carries a sense of completeness or totality related to the number three.
