Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Onefold → It is formed from "one" (from Old English "ān", meaning single or one) and "-fold" (from Old English "fald", meaning to fold or to double). The word "onefold" means having one layer or being single in form.

Memory Tip

Think of 'one' as being single and 'fold' as a layer — so 'onefold' means having just one layer.
