Usage Note

Tripler means to multiply by three or to become three times as much, used both transitively (tripler son salaire) and intransitively (les prix ont triplé). It is built on triple (adjective) plus the -er suffix. The related doubler (to double) and quadrupler (to quadruple) follow the same pattern and are all commonly used in economic and statistical contexts.
