Aquariiums

/əˈkwɛəriəmz/ noun

Definition

A non-standard spelling variant that appears to be a misspelling or corruption of 'aquariums,' the standard plural of aquarium.

Etymology

An erroneous form combining 'aquarium' with a doubled 'i' and standard plural '-s,' possibly from confusion with Latinized forms or simple typographical error.

Kelly Says

This misspelling reminds us that even simple words have contested histories—'aquariums' won out over Latin-style plurals, but some people still occasionally double consonants when they're unsure!
