שָׁלַשׁ shâlash

Meaning

to be (causatively, make) triplicate (by restoration, in portions, strands, days or years)

In the King James Version: do the third time, (divide into, stay) three (days, -fold, parts, years old).

Derivation: a primitive root perhaps originally to intensify, i.e. treble; but apparently used only as denominative from H7969 (שָׁלוֹשׁ),
