Biplicity

/bɪˈplɪsɪti/ noun

Definition

The state or quality of being doubled, folded, or having two layers or components.

Etymology

From 'biplicate' with the noun-forming suffix '-ity.' Related to 'plication' (the act of folding). Uncommon in modern usage.

Kelly Says

While 'biplicity' is a grammatically valid word meaning 'the condition of being folded twice,' it's so rare that even many dictionaries don't include it—language evolves, and some words fade away even if they're technically correct.
