Avions

/ˈæviɒnz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of avion; multiple aircraft or airplanes.

Etymology

From French/Spanish avion (aircraft) plus English plural suffix -s, creating a hybrid noun form.

Kelly Says

This is a borrowing that shows English's flexibility—we borrowed the Spanish/French word 'avion' for planes, then just added our standard -s plural to make it English.
