A triad, 'tri' meaning three, is a three note Chord. In music, a triad is traditionally a set of three notes that can be stacked in thirds.
When stacked in thirds, the triad's members, from lowest pitched tone to highest, are called: the root, the third, the fifth — its interval above the root being a minor third (three semitones) or a major third (four semitones) and the fifth — its interval above the third being a minor third or a major third, hence its interval above the root being a diminished fifth (six semitones), perfect fifth (seven semitones), or augmented fifth (eight semitones).
