the plural of aunt, which is the sister of your parent or the wife of your uncle.
From Latin 'amita' (father's sister) and 'avunculus' (uncle), which came through Old French 'ante.' The word has remained relatively stable across European languages for thousands of years.
The word 'aunt' has barely changed since Latin times—'amita' became 'aunt' in English, 'tante' in French, and 'tía' in Spanish, showing how family relationships are so fundamental they're among the oldest, most stable words in any language!
