Definition
Plural of acolyte; multiple people who assist in religious services or multiple devoted followers of a person or cause.
Etymology
From Greek 'akolouthos' pluralized with the English '-s' ending, maintaining the sense of multiple followers or religious assistants.
Kelly Says
The shift from acolytes meaning only church assistants to meaning any group of devoted followers shows how religious terminology gets repurposed in secular contexts over time.
