Etymology

English plural formed by adding '-s' to 'argan,' the Moroccan Arabic loanword.

Kelly Says

You might see 'argans' used when discussing cosmetic companies sourcing oils, but it's much more common to talk about 'argan oil' as an uncountable noun—showing how English tends to treat natural products as bulk materials rather than countable individual items.
