A Triad means three notes, but it is probably more correct to say three different notes that make up a common chord. Some possible exceptions: Three "e"s in different octaves are not really referred to as a triad; The three notes "c", "c-sharp", and "d" played together is more like a cluster of notes rather than referred to as a triad.
Examples: The c-major chord is composed of the triad of "c", "e", and "g"; The triad of "c", "e", and "b-flat" are found within the c-seven chord; He used only the a-minor triad throughout the entire c-blues progression.

A threesome? Just kidding. How about intervals? The nicer sounding ones in a major key are usually the first, third and fifth intervals. Sometimes the first and fourth and sixth. You can have a triad by using three different notes in any scale.
