geminate
Doubled in sequence
Geminate means doubled or occurring in pairs.
In linguistics, geminate consonants are lengthened or doubled sounds—the double *n* in Italian *anno* or the *ll* in *pellucid*.
The verb means to double or arrange in pairs: The crystals geminate as they form.
In biology, geminate describes structures growing in matched pairs.
