On the term reduplication, it comes from a Late Latin compound re- (back, again) + duplicare (to bend; to double, be composed of two elements, bear two (paternal and maternal) arms; to duplicate, prepare in duplicate; to make a certain reply or rejoinder called a 'duply'; to double, i.e. lengthen, a feast; to line a garment, sail, or shelf with (another) lining). As you can see, the the problem is that duplicare came to mean so many things that in order to signify the particular sense of 'duplicate', they disambiguated it by adding a seemingly redundant prefix.
