Autochthons

/ɔːˈtɒkθɒnz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of autochthon; the original inhabitants of a region or the first people to settle in a place.

Etymology

The English-style plural of autochthon, adding the standard -s suffix. This differs from the Greek plural 'autochthones,' representing how English has naturalized the Greek term.

Kelly Says

Interestingly, English gives us two plural options: 'autochthons' (English-style) and 'autochthones' (Greek-style). Both are correct, but 'autochthons' is more common in modern usage because English just adds -s to everything.
