Etymology

The word 'doubled' originates from the Old French term 'dobler', which means to double or to increase in size. This, in turn, comes from the Latin 'duplex', meaning 'twofold' or 'double'. The use of 'double' as a verb became more common in the late Middle Ages and has since evolved into various forms used in contemporary English. The concept of doubling has played a significant role in mathematics, economics, and even in everyday language, emphasizing multiplication or increase.
