Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DOUBLE (from the Mid. Eng. duble, the form which gives the present pronunciation, through the Old Er. duble, from Lat. duplus, twice as much) , twice as much, or large, having two parts, having a
part
  repeated, coupled, &c. The word appears as a substantive with the
special
  meaning of the
appearance
  to a person of his own apparition, generally regarded as a warning, or of such an apparition of one living person to another, the
German
  Doppelganger (see
APPARITIONS
 ). Another word often used with this meaning is " fetch." According to the New
English
  Dictionary, "fetch " is chiefly of Irish usage, and may possibly be connected with " fetch," to bring or carry away, but it may be a
separate
  word. The Corpus Glossary of the beginning of the loth
century
  seems to identify a word fcecce with mcere, meaning a goblin which appears in " nightmare." "
Double
  " is also used of a person whose resemblance to another is peculiarly striking or remarkable, so that confusion between them may easily arise.
