Aiolis

/aɪˈoʊlis/ noun

Definition

Plural of aioli; multiple servings or varieties of the garlic and olive oil sauce.

Etymology

The plural form of 'aioli,' formed by adding the standard English plural ending '-s' to the singular Occitan-derived noun.

Kelly Says

In French, 'aioli' is actually both singular and plural, so 'aiolis' is an Anglicized plural that French speakers would find unnecessary—another example of English absorbing foreign words and then immediately changing their grammar rules!
