/ˈsɛkstʃᵿplɛks/, U.S.

/sɛkˈst(j)uplɛks/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin sextuplex.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin sextuplex (1588, 1610, etc. in British sources), alteration (after post-classical Latin quadruplex quadruplex adj.) of sextiplex sixfold (4th or 5th cent.) < sexti- sexti- comb. form + -plex -plex suffix¹. Compare earlier sextuple adj., sextuplicate adj., and later sextupled adj. With sense 2 compare slightly earlier duplex adj. 2, quadruplex adj. 2.

1. = sixfold adj. rare.

1668 I. Barrow Let. in S. P. Rigaud & S. J. Rigaud Corr. Sci. Men 17th Cent. (1841) (modernized text) II. 495 Sextuplex is as much the double of triplex as 6 is the double of 3.

1866 Rec. Zool. Lit. 1865 2 780 Haeckel..describes the development of two species of Geryonidæ... The first is quadruplex, the second sextuplex.

1949 C. S. Siskind Direct-current Armature Windings v. 28 Quadruplex-, quintuplex-, and sextuplex-lap windings would have, respectively, four, five, and six times as many parallel paths through the armature as would the simplex type of lap winding.

2. Telegraphy. Designating a system of telegraphy enabling six messages to be sent over a wire at the same time, three in each direction. Cf. duplex adj. 2, quadruplex adj. 2, octuplex adj. Now historical and rare.
