octuple

Multiplied by eight

Octuple means eightfold—consisting of eight parts or eight times as great.

As a verb, to octuple is to multiply by eight: The company's revenue octupled in a decade.

The word follows the pattern of double, triple, and quadruple, though it sees far less use than those more familiar multipliers.
