Morphology

octuple = oct (semi-transparent) = oct + uple

Formally oct- + -uple yields 'eightfold', but the combining form 'oct-' is not a standalone common word for many learners.

Etymology

The word octuple has the root oct- meaning 'eight', the same root you see in octagon and octopus. So an octuple thing has eight parts or is eight times as much.
