Definition
An exact copy or reproduction of something, especially an artwork or historical object.
Etymology
From Italian 'replica,' derived from Latin 'replicare' (to fold back/reply), from 're-' (back) and 'plicare' (to fold). The art sense came from Italian usage in the 1700s.
Kelly Says
The word 'replica' has an oddly poetic root—it literally means 'folded back,' because in the Renaissance, when artists made copies, they were seen as folding back and repeating the original creator's work, an idea now lost in our modern 'replica' meaning.
