- The act of doubling, or the state of being doubled. - A figure in which the first word of a verse is the
same as the last word of the preceding verse. - The doubling of a stem or syllable (more or less
modified), with the effect of changing the time expressed, intensifying
the meaning, or making the word more imitative; also, the syllable thus
added; as, L. tetuli; poposci.
