How accurate do you think this word is in describing God?

If you mean God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are merely affiliated with one another, then it’s not sufficient nor correct. If you mean that the Godhead is affiliated within himself in three divine Persons, it’s accurate, AFAICS, but again, not sufficient. So, what are you trying to say by inventing a new word to describe God? 🙂
 
I actually thought of the word randomly and thought it had to do with love but in looking at the latin roots trium is the genitive masculine, feminine, and neuter of tres (Latin for three) and filiation is the fact of being. Just thought it was interesting. Many permutations for a single word depending on what way you view it.
 
That’s the problem with inventing new words, isn’t it? You meant something quite different from the word you invented. 🙂

It’s fine, IMHO, to search out new ways to express the unity and love between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, unless one is a linguist, the result may be less than satisfactory. 😉

I like it. Goes hand in hand with Circumincession, which describes the location/action of the Three Persons of God with respect to each other.

Trinity would encompass both of those words/ideas.

It was just a thought. I should have said ‘‘describe an aspect of God’’ rather than God. I just think it is an interesting word seeing as the genitive case implies possession by another and that this word (the prefix trium) is held by three separate genitive declensions.
