-ple comes either from tuple or from decuple.

Wikipedia says:

"Although these uses treat ‑tuple as the suffix, the original suffix was ‑ple as in "decuple", ten‑fold. This originates from a medieval Latin suffix ‑plus, "more", related to Greek ‑πλοῦς, which replaced the classical and late antique ‑plex "folded".
