Accusatrixes

/ˌækjuːˈzeɪtrɪksɪz/ noun

Definition

The plural form of accusatrix; multiple female accusers.

Etymology

English plural of accusatrix, formed by adding -es to the Latin feminine form. The -es ending is used because Latin words ending in -trix typically form plurals this way in English.

Kelly Says

When we borrow Latin words into English, we sometimes keep the original plural patterns, but not always—some people might say 'accusatrixes' while others prefer 'accusatrices' (the true Latin plural), showing how languages struggle when mixing different grammatical systems.
