Common chord (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

triad

'common chord' is the definition.
(I know that common chord can be written as triad)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for triad that I've seen before include "Chinese criminal society" , "three making a sound?" , "Three-note chord -- Chinese criminal gang" , "Group or set of three" , "Union of three" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
