Morphology
quintuple = five (transparent) = quint + uple
Built from the numeral combining form 'quint-' + the productive '-uple' meaning 'fold/consisting of', so the meaning 'set of five' is directly predictable.
Etymology
Quintuple comes from the root quint-, from Latin for 'five', and it often means a group of five, like a musical quintet. So a quintuple is a set of five similar things counted as one.
