I don't really know what a tertiary of the Dominican Order is, but here is the definition for tertiary:

1. (adj.) tertiary

of the third order, rank, stage, formation, etc.; third.

2. tertiary

noting or containing a carbon atom united to three other carbon atoms.

3. tertiary

formed by replacement of three atoms or groups.

4. tertiary

(cap.) noting or pertaining to the earlier period of the Cenozoic Era, beginning about 65 million years ago, during which mammals gained ascendancy.

5. tertiary

noting or pertaining to a Third Order.

6. (n.) tertiary

(cap.) the Tertiary Period or System.

7. tertiary

(often cap.) a member of a Third Order.

Although all of the above mentioned are quite true & relevant to our word TERTIARY, there is one definition that hasn't been mentioned AND could very well be THE one that is used more frequently then the others and that is: a thing that is of least significance. For instance... "I would have to say that the #4 statement above is w/o question the most tertiary definition of the lot."(just a personal opinion of course).
