What comes after once, twice, thrice?
Nothing! These three are the only words of their type, and no further terms in the series have ever existed.

It's an adverb derived from middle English.
One, Ones, Once
Two, Twiges, Twice
Three, Thries, Thrice

Four in middle English was Fower. So to fit the pattern it would have to be Fowice. Or maybe just Fwice.

When trying to do this with Five (fif) it instead sounds like division. Fifths?

Quadruple.

Single
Double
Triple
Quadruple
Pentuple
While arguably a superior scheme it's not the pattern in question.

Pentuple

Wat. It's quintuple.

Ah right, quad of Latin origin so quint would follow.
Penta is the Greek form.
