three: [OE] Three goes back to a prehistoric Indo- European *trejes, which also produced Greek treis, Latin trēs, Russian tri, Sanskrit tráyas, etc. Its Germanic descendant was *thrijiz, which has evolved into German drei, Dutch drie, Swedish and Danish tre, and English three. Amongst three’s many relations in English are treble, trellis [14] (etymologically something made from ‘three threads’), trinity, trio [18], triple, tripod [17] (etymologically something with ‘three feet’), trivial and possibly also travail and tribe.
=> drill, testament, third, travail, treble, trellis, tribe, trinity, trio, triple, tripod, trivet, trivial - three (adj.)
