Plural form of autochthon; multiple people who are originally from the place where they live.
The plural form of autochthon, following Greek pluralization patterns where -on becomes -ones. This maintains the same etymology as the singular form.
Greek plurals can be tricky—autochthon doesn't become 'autochthons' in Greek style, it becomes 'autochthones.' English sometimes keeps these Greek plurals when we use Greek-origin words, which is why this looks unusual compared to simpler English plurals.
