quintuplicate

Make five copies

Quintuplicate means consisting of five copies or parts, or multiplied by five.

As a verb, to quintuplicate is to make five copies of something or to multiply fivefold: The forms must be submitted in quintuplicate.

The word follows the pattern of duplicate and triplicate, though it appears far less frequently—bureaucratic requirements rarely demand five identical copies.
