The word "duplicature" is derived from the Latin root "duplicatura", which itself comes from the verb "duplicare". In Latin, "duplicare" means "to double" or "to fold in two". This root is formed by combining "duo" meaning "two" and "plicare" meaning "to fold". Over time, "duplicatura" was anglicized into "duplicature", which refers to a fold or doubling back of a part or tissue in various biological contexts.
