Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin sextuplus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin sextuplus six times as much, sixfold, consisting of six parts (from 13th cent. in British sources) < classical Latin sextus sixth (see sext n.¹) + -plus (in e.g. duplus double adj.¹). Compare Middle French, French sextuple (1450), Italian sestuplo (1585). Compare earlier quadruple n., slightly earlier quadruple adj., and also quintuple adj., octuple adj. Compare also sescuple adj.

A. adj.

1. Six times as many or as much, sixfold (formerly with of, to). Also: consisting of six parts or things.
