Duplitron

noun; compounding
Exact double; twin; doppelganger. ("my evil duplitron") This word was invented to sound like an actual Latin borrowing, but at the same time to provoke laughter at its absurdity.
 
Well, if our evil duplitrons did show up, I hope they engaged in rigorous frivolity.
Etymology : Faux Latin borrowing with root morpheme DUPL, dupl/dipl "double" + -itron (Latinate-sounding suffix)
