A three-note chord consisting of a note and the third and fifth above it (5)

I believe the answer is:

triad

(Other definitions for triad that I've seen before include "Group or set of three" , "Up to date" , "Chinese secret society" , "Union of three" , "Set of three; chord" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
