What Does a Twofold Increase Mean?
The suffix "-fold" refers to multiples. "Onefold" means a whole,
"twofold" means twice, "threefold" means three times as much.
According to Merriam-Webster (m-w.com), "twofold" means
1 : having two parts or aspects
2 : being twice as great or as many and the suffix "-fold" means
1 : multiplied by (a specified number) : times -- in adjectives
and adverbs
2 : having (so many) parts Although some people might quibble over "twofold increase," arguing
that it has to mean the _increase_ itself is twice the original
value, and thus a tripling, a quick web search makes it clear that
the phrase universally refers to a mere doubling: an increase _to_
twice the original amount.
