Etymology of INGEMINATE

The word "ingeminate" has its origins in the Latin word "ingeminare", which is derived from the prefix "in-" meaning "into" or "again", and the word "geminare" meaning "to double" or "to repeat". Therefore, "ingeminare" can be translated as "to repeat" or "to double up". In turn, "ingeminate" was adopted into Middle English from Latin and has retained a similar meaning of repeating or doubling something.
