Why this word is great
HENDIATRIS — [Noun] A rhetorical device in which a single concept is powerfully concentrated by being expressed through three distinct terms. Its etymology is the Ancient Greek phrase ἕν διὰ τρεῖς (hén dià treîs), meaning "one [idea] through three [words]". Unlike a tricolon, which builds a triad of parallel clauses for rhythmic emphasis, or hendiadys, which splits one idea into a coupled "and" construction, hendiatris is a triad of synonyms hammered into a singular, definitive point. It is the hedonistic creed of "wine, women, and song," the revolutionary hammer-strike of "liberté, égalité, fraternité," and the sacrificial totality of "blood, sweat, and tears"—three points circumscribing one inescapable circle of meaning, a testament to the human faith that anything said thrice becomes irrevocably true.
