Triquetra (pronounced /traɪˈkwɛtrə/) is a noun derived from the Latin tri- ("three") and quetrus ("cornered"). Its original meaning was simply "triangle" and it has been used to refer to various three-cornered shapes. Nowadays, it has come to refer exclusively to a particular more complicated shape formed of three vesicae piscis, sometimes with an added circle in or around it. This has been used as a religious symbol of things and persons that are threefold.

Or a horse race!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by "vesicae piscis" -- never thought of that shape as a "fish bubble"! But it works.
