Morphology

redoubled = redouble + double (semi-transparent) = re + double + ed

The adjective is a regular participial formation from the verb 'redouble', meaning 'made greater' or 'increased'.

Etymology

The word redoubled comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the familiar word double meaning 'two times' or 'twice'. So to redouble something is to make it 'again' and 'more', which explains why redoubled means made much stronger or much larger.
