mid 18th century (as a musical term in the sense ‘a repeat’): from Italian, from replicare ‘to reply’.
wiktionary
Borrowed from Italian replica, derived from Latin replicare(“to copy”). Doublet of reply and replicate.
etymonline
replica (n.)
1824, "a work of art made in exact likeness of another and by the same artist," from Italian replica "copy, repetition, reply," from replicare "to duplicate," from Latin replicare "to repeat," in classical Latin "fold back, fold over, bend back," from re- "back, again" (see re-) + plicare "to fold" (from PIE root *plek- "to plait").
Properly, a duplicate work made by the same artist and thus considered as an original, not a copy. General sense of "any copy, reproduction, or facsimile" is by 1865.
