History
By proprialization from trinity.
From Middle English trinite, from Anglo-Norman trinite and Old French ternite (modern French trinité), from Latin trīnitās, from trīnī (“three each”), from trēs (“three”). By surface analysis, trine + -ity. Displaced native Old English þrines (literally “threeness”).
