tri-comté / triple comté
comté in French means county and tri means triple. I didn't see this term in French like tri-comté... so I am not sure, but you can always look for the alternatives with TROIS or TRIPLE.

: country = pays ... not county, word issued from a French word : Comté but that is History, before 1492. Right for the spelling...

COUNTY in french is "comté" (comté (m) n. earldom, county; parish, shire ) . "Conte" means STORY (conte (m) n. story, tale, legend, yarn ) and it's a totally different word. COMPTE (compte (m) n. account, counting; reckoning; cost; score). {homophones}
