Plex is what is left when multiplex is worn down by use, and it keeps the sense of a box divided into parts. The same ending does duty in housing, where a duplex, a triplex and a fourplex are one building cut into that many homes — and a landlord will often call the whole thing a plex and leave you to work out how many.
