Whether we're looking for a whole element name or just its symbol, I do not know.

That clue is getting me fixated on Antananarivo, the only word I can think of to contain three of the same element scrambled and then some.
Whole elements tend to be long, and don't do well tripled. Unless it's not the element that is repeated thrice - but what then, "the" ? Thethethe. No one speaks with so many H's.
Tripling is easier with single letter elements. There are a bunch of words that contain three Ns, for instance, but they don't make sense with the rest of the clue.
