Etymology
Romanian borrowed "dublu" from French "double" during the nineteenth-century push to re-Latinize the language's vocabulary. The word ultimately goes back to Latin "duplus", meaning twofold, built from "duo" (two) and a suffix element related to folding. The same Latin element appears in words like "duplex" and "duplicate" across many European languages.
