Agreges

/əˈɡreɪdʒɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of agrege; multiple people holding the French agrégation qualification.

Etymology

Agrege + -s (English plural). This uses English pluralization on a French loanword.

Kelly Says

When English borrows French words, we face a choice: keep French plurals ('les agrégés') or use English ones ('the agreges'). Most academic English adopts the English plural, which is why you'll see this unusual form.
