For this term I’ll quote Merriam-Webster’s definition:
1 : a 2-leaved hinged tablet folding together to protect writing on its waxed surfaces
2 : a picture or series of pictures (as an altarpiece) painted or carved on two hinged tablets
3 : a work made up of two matching parts
A Triptych would be the same, but with three matching or related parts.
