Morphology
triplication = triplicate (transparent) = tri + plic + ation
Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ation' to the base 'triplicate', preserving the sense of 'threefold' or 'three copies'.
Etymology
Triplication comes from the parts tri- 'three' and plicare 'to fold', the same root behind common words like triple and duplicate. Think of it as folding an idea into three parts by saying it three times, so triplication means repeating a word or phrase three times for effect.
