== Terminology of the Trinity ==

=== Godhead ===
The Trinity may also be referred to as the "'''Godhead'''"
* = God in the full nature of the Trinity 
** from Middle English ''God'' + ''hede'' (nature of)
* note: the Father is the "source and origin" of the Godhead, but the Godhead indivisibly consists of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
** see [https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/670/ CCC 2789]

=== hypostasis ===
refers to the "Persons" of God; in Latin ''persona''

* ''hypostasis'' is singular for "Person"
* ''hypostases'' is plural for "Persons"
*

=== '''hypostatic union''' ===
refers to the "union of the divine and human natures... of the Son of God, Jesus Christ" ([https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/884/ CCC Glossary])

* i.e. that Jesus Christ was fully human and fully divine

=== Triune === 
a similar reference to "Godhead" for the Holy Trinity 
* but also used as an adjective, as in "the Triune God"
