THREE, a.
1. Two and one.
I offer thee three things. 2 Sam. xxiv.
2. It is often used like other adjectives, without the noun to which it refers.
Abishai-attained not to the first three. 2 Sam. xxiii.
3. Proverbially, a small number.
Away, thou three-inched fool. Shak.
[I believe obsolete.]
(I like that there are 3 definitions for this word.)
