Etymology

The use of 'fold' in the context of multiplication has Old English roots as well, pointing towards the concept of replication or extension in quantity. The term has been used historically in various texts, often relating to agricultural yield, investments, or blessings, suggesting a substantial increase in worth or number. Over time, 'hundredfold' became broader in usage, appearing in literature and common speech as a way to emphasize significant growth or multiplication.
