Plural form of albacore; multiple medium-sized tuna fish.
Simple English plural of albacore, formed by adding -s to the singular form, which itself derives from Portuguese and Arabic origins.
The plural form reminds us that most plurals are simple additions, but the deeper story is how one Arabic word gave us both 'albacore' and 'albacora'—two versions of the same fish name that competed in different maritime languages!
