Etymology

From Middle English thrice, thries (three times, thrice; a third time; repeated three times), from earlier thrī, thrīe (three times, thrice; a third time) (from Old English þriwa, þreowa) + -es (suffix forming adverbs of time, place, and manner) (from Old English -es (suffix forming adverbs)). The word is cognate with Old Frisian thria ("thrice"; > Saterland Frisian träie (thrice)), Middle Low German drîes (thrice), Middle High German drīes, drīs (thrice).

Usage notes

Unlike once and twice, thrice is somewhat dated in American and British usage, sometimes used for a comical or intentionally archaic effect; three times is the more standard and typical usage. On the other hand, once and twice are almost always preferred over one time and two times respectively. Thrice does however retain some currency in compounds like thrice-monthly, and it is still standard and stylistically neutral in Indian English.
