Morphology
triplicate = tri + plicate (semi-transparent) = tri + plicate
The components 'tri' and 'plicate' are clear, but the specific meaning of 'triplicate' as 'three identical copies' is not directly derivable from the components.
Etymology
Triplicate comes from the Latin parts tri- 'three' and plicare 'to fold'. So a triplicate is one of three identical copies, and you can remember it by thinking of duplicate (two copies) and triple (three).
