sextuple = tuple (transparent) = sex + tuple

The prefix 'sex-' clearly denotes six, and 'tuple' refers to a grouping, making the meaning straightforward.

Etymology

Sextuple comes from the Latin word sex meaning 'six', the same root you see in sextet. So sextuple describes something that has 'six' units or parts.
