duplicará

Duplicará is the third-person singular future indicative form of the Spanish verb duplicar. It corresponds to “he will duplicate,” “she will duplicate,” or “you (formal) will duplicate.” The verb duplicar means to double something or to create an exact copy of it. The term is widely used in everyday Spanish, economy, technology, science, and everyday speech.

Etymology and meaning: Duplicar comes from the Latin duplicare, related to duplex or duplicis, meaning twofold. In Spanish it covers several related senses: to make a copy, to reproduce, or to increase a quantity to twice its previous amount. The noun form duplicación refers to the act or result of duplicating.

Usage and contexts: In computing, duplicar a file means to create an identical copy of that file. In finance or mathematics, duplicar a quantity means doubling it, for example, “La inversión duplicará su valor con el tiempo.” In biology, though the term is more commonly used with duplicación to refer to gene duplication, duplicar can be used informally to describe repeating events or creating duplicates of documents, records, or items.

Examples:

- Él duplicará el archivo para hacer una copia de seguridad.

- Si continúas invirtiendo, la inversión duplicará su valor.

- Usted duplicará el número de unidades con la próxima producción.
