Morphology
quadruplicate = duplicate (transparent) = quadri + plic
The meaning is clearly derived from 'duplicate' with the prefix 'quadri-' indicating fourfold.
Etymology
Quadruplicate as a noun means one of four identical copies; the word comes from quadri- 'four' and the same ending as duplicate, so it literally means a 'copy' from a set of four.
