Origin Middle English; Old English -fald, -feald, cognate with Old Frisian, Old Saxon -fald, German -falt, Old Norse -faldr, Gothic -falths, all representing the Germanic base of fold¹; akin to Greek -ploos, -plous (see haplo-, diplo-), Latin -plus (see simple, double, etc.), -plex -plex Related Words bifold centuple complice eightfold fivefold fourfold -folda suffix attached to numerals and other quantitative words or stems to denote multiplication by or division into a certain number, as in twofold, manifold. [Middle English; Old English (Northumbrian) -fald; replacing Old English -feald, ultimately related to Old English faldan fold] -fold suffix ETYMOLOGY Middle English, from Old English -feald; akin to Old High German -falt -fold, Latin -plex, -plus, Old English fealdan 1. multiplied by (a specified number) : times — in adjectives a sixfold increase and adverbs repay you tenfold 2. having (so many) parts threefold aspect of the problem -fold /fəʊld/ suffix forming adjectives and adverbs from cardinal numbers ［附于基数后构成形容词和副词］ 1. in an amount multiplied by 表示“倍”, “重”： threefold. 2. consisting of so many parts or facets 表示“由若干部分（或面）组成”： twofold. 词源 Old English -fald, -feald; related to FOLD¹. -fold, suffix(OE. -feald, Northumb. -fald, ME. -fald, -fold), corresponds to OFris., OS -fald (Du. -voud), OHG. -falt (MHG. -valt, mod.Ger. -falt), ON. -faldr (Sw. -fald, Da. -fold), Goth. -falþs; cognate with fold v.¹, and with the equivalent Gr. -παλτος, -πλασιος, also, more remotely, with Gr. -πλο- in ἁπλός single, διπλός double (= L. duplus), and probably with the L. (sim-, du-, tri-) plex. Like the Gr. and L. equivalents, the Teut. suffix is appended to cardinal numerals (and adjs. meaning ‘many’), forming adjs. of which the primary sense is ‘folded in two, three, four, etc.,’ or ‘plaited of two, three, four, etc. strands’ (cf. ‘a threefold cord’), but which serve also and chiefly as arithmetical multiplicatives. The OE. forms, twi-, twio-, twiefeald, ðrifeald, fyðerfeald, which retain the combining form of the cardinal inherited from OTeut., were superseded in early ME. by new formations on the analogy of fivefold, etc., where the cardinal has the normal form.The adjs. were already in OE. used absol. in the neut. (e.g. ðrifeald threefold, three times as much and as advbs. (= doubly, triply, etc.), and these uses still continue. In OE. the adverbial notion was also expressed by phrases like be fíffealdum, be maniᵹfealdum, in late Eng. † by fivefold, by manifold. The introduction of the Romanic synonyms double and treble or triple, to which were afterwards added the adapted Latin quadruple, quintuple, etc., has considerably narrowed the use of the derivatives in -fold; indeed the latter seem to be (in many dialects) no longer current among illiterate people. In educated use the strictly multiplicative sense survives chiefly in the adv. and quasi-n., and with reference to somewhat large numbers (‘He has repaid me tenfold’; ‘that is a thousandfold worse’); the adjs. express rather a plurality of things more or less different, than mere quantitative multiplication: cf. ‘a double charm’ with ‘a two-fold charm’.In ME. a few new and unanalogical compounds were formed with the suffix, as thick-fold (= frequent, -ly), double-fold; but these did not survive into the modern period. Of the nonce-combinations, formed by attaching -fold to indefinite numerals, interrogatives, and the like, the following quots. afford examples.1695W. Alingham Geom. Epit. 63 The quantitie of proportion is more generally defined by how much fold rather than by how many times the consequent is contained in the antecedent.1833N. Arnott Physics (ed. 5) II. 78 The effect was found to be several fold greater than of steam from the same quantity of fuel.1879H. George Progr. & Pov. ii. iii. (1881) 115 All of the things which furnish man's subsistence have the power to multiply many fold. -fold multiplicative word-forming element attached to numerals, from Old English -feald, Northumbrian -fald, from Proto-Germanic -falthaz (cognates: Old Saxon -fald, Old Frisian -fald, Old Norse -faldr, Dutch -voud, German -falt, Gothic falþs), comb. form of falthan, from PIE polt-, extended form of root pel- (3) "to fold" (cognates: Greek -paltos, -plos; Latin -plus; see fold, v.). Native words with it have been crowded out by Latinate double, triple, etc., but it persists in manifold, hundredfold, etc. -fold [Adverb] in a manner of, marked by: fourfold -fold /fəʊld/ suffix. OE. ORIGIN: Old English -fald, -feald = Old Frisian, Old Saxon -fald (Dutch -voud), Old & Modern High German -falt, Old Norse -faldr, Goth -falþs, cogn. with fold verb¹ and with Greek -paltos, -plasios, also with plo- in haplos, and prob. with Latin (sim)plex. Forming adjectives and adverbs from cardinal numerals and adjectives meaning ‘many’ with the senses ‘multiplied by’, ‘in an amount multiplied by’, ‘having so many parts’, as in threefold, manifold, etc., and parallel nouns used with a with the sense ‘a specified number or amount of times’ (cf. fold noun³). ☞ fold -fold \\|fōld\ suffix Etymology: Middle English -fold, -fald, from Old English -feald; akin to Old High German -falt -fold, Old Norse -faldr, Gothic -falths; derivatives from the root of English fold (III) 1. : multiplied by (a specified number) : times — in adjectives < a twelvefold increase > and adverbs < it will repay you tenfold > 2. : having (so many) laps, layers, or parts < the threefold aspect of the problem > -fold Suffix Used to make adjectives meaning times. There has been a threefold increase in inflation (= inflation is three times what it was before) Used to make adverbs meaning times. Inflation has increased threefold (= inflation is three times what it was before) Etymology From Middle English, from Old English -feald (“-fold”), from Proto-Germanic -falþaz (“-fold”), from Proto-Indo-European -poltos (“-fold”), from pel- (“to fold”). Cognate with Dutch -voud, German -fach, Swedish -faldig* (“-fold”), Latin -plus, -plex, Ancient Greek -παλτος (-paltos), -πλος (-plos), -πλόος (-plóos). More at fold. Related terms Note: -fold can be combined with the word for any positive integer. The words listed below are some of the most common combinations. These words are not hyphenated. twofold threefold fourfold fivefold sixfold sevenfold eightfold ninefold tenfold elevenfold twelvefold twentyfold thirtyfold fortyfold fiftyfold sixtyfold seventyfold eightyfold ninetyfold hundredfold thousandfold millionfold manifold Usage notes Some writers and speakers use misconstructions like "an increase by twofold," which they believe to mean the same thing as "a twofold increase." But these two things logically mean "an increase by 200% of the original amount" and "an increase to 200% of the original amount," respectively. This practice is not only ambiguous but grammatically poor; it misuses -fold by using it as a noun. -Fold takes no preposition. In scientific contexts, "-fold" is sometimes appended to numerals (with the same sense), as in a 2010 paper by M.C. Stone et al., which mentions "10-fold up-regulation of the number of growing microtubules" in its abstract. 后缀：-fold [形容词及副词后缀] 表示...倍、...重 twofold 两倍，两重 threefole 三倍，三重 fourfold 四倍，四重 sevenfold 七倍，七重 tenfold 十倍，十重 hundredfold 百倍，百重 thousandfold 千倍，千重 manyfold 许多倍地
