A fold or doubling; the quality of being folded or doubled.
From Latin 'duplicatura', combining 'duplic-' (double) and '-atura' (suffix denoting state or condition). This technical term describes the act or result of folding something in half.
In textile arts, duplicature refers to deliberate folds in fabric that create structural strength—Japanese origami and kimono construction use duplicature to amazing effect, turning a flat sheet into 3D form.
