Set
When you are holding two hole cards with the same rank and a third card hits the board, you have a set. The odds of flopping a set is 7.5 to 1.

The above flop gives you a set of Nines. If there is another pair on the board, you will make a full house.
Difference between Set and Trips
It is called trips instead of a set when two of the three cards are on the board instead of being in your hand.
