Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the late Middle English word duplication, originating from Latin duplicatio, from duplicare meaning 'to double'. It entered usage through Old French in the 15th century, evolving from a legal term denoting the doubling of a plea to a general scientific and technical term for making an exact copy.
