Decuples

/ˈdɛkjəpəlz/ verb, noun

Third-person singular present tense of decuple, or plural noun form meaning multiple tenfold amounts.

Etymology

From the base 'decuple' with standard English verb conjugation or pluralization '-s' suffix.

Kelly Says

The word 'decuples' shows how English reuses the same word for both 'he/she decuples it' (verb) and 'multiple decuples' (noun plural), which is a nifty efficiency in language.
