If the population increased that much, it means it went from 10,000 to (twofold) 20,000 or (threefold) 30,000 people.

Not “history” terms as such, but ways of multiplying years (for instance). “Score” is another (as in four score and seven whre “score” equals 20, so this is a poetic way to say 87).

Hope that helps…

That’s interesting — I found definitions immediately in a dictionary, of all places…

twofold – twice as much

threefold – three times as much
