Etimologia (Anglès)

From sem- (“one; single-”) + -plex (“-fold”). The first element (from Proto-Indo-European *sem-, *sm̥-) does not occur independently in Latin, but is also seen in semel (“once”) and semper (“always, forever”). De Vaan reconstructs Proto-Italic *sm̥-plak-s, but also reconstructs Proto-Italic *-plek-s.
