Morphology
quadruplicate = duplicate (transparent) = quadri + plic
The meaning is clearly derived from 'duplicate' with the prefix 'quadri-' indicating fourfold.
Etymology
Quadruplicate as an adjective means 'fourfold' or 'made of four parts'; the quadri- part means 'four', like in quartet and quadruple, so it describes something that has four equal parts.
