Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces the second imperative diplōsate ta dipla {διπλώσατε τὰ διπλᾶ | di-plō-sa-te tá di-plâ} ‘double the doubles’, heightening the punitive response.
The prepositional phrase kata ta erga autēs {κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς | katá tá ér-ga au-tês} ‘according to her deeds’ specifies the standard of retribution.
Root and etymology
timētau–iota–mu–eta

In context — Revelation 18:6
Repay her in the same way she herself repaid, and according to her deeds return to her double; in the cup which she mixed, mix for her a double measure.
