A three way switch is a switch that is used in a lighting circuit that allows the light fixture to be turned on from three separate locations within the building. In electrical terminology this switch is also referred to as a SPST, Single Pole Single Throw switch. The switch has three individual terminals of which two are always connected. These switches are usually located at the far extremes of the circuit with an intermediate switch between them. This intermediate switch is referred to an a four way switch.

How is one light controlled by three switches?

That is called a 4 way light switch circuit. On each end of the circuit you install a 3way switch and in the middle you install a 4 way switch.Answer using British TerminologyIn the UK, 'three-way' switches are called 'two-way' switches (more logical, if you think about it!), and the 'four-way' switch is called an 'intermediate' switch.
