The word "duplicate" originates from Latin duplicatus, the past participle of duplicare ("to double"), derived from duplex ("twofold"). The morpheme du- (from Latin duo) means "two," while -plic- (from Latin plicare) means "to fold." Combined, they convey the idea of "making a second fold" or "creating a twin." Over time, the term evolved to signify exact copies or repetitions, reflecting its logical progression from physical doubling to abstract replication.
