Baronnes

/bæˈroʊnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of baronne; multiple French baronesses or wives of French barons.

Etymology

Regular French plural of baronne, formed by adding -s. French plural rules generally add -s to most nouns, similar to English.

Kelly Says

French and English both add -s for plurals, but they arrived there differently—English from Germanic roots, French from Latin—yet they converged on the same solution, showing how language change can create accidental similarities.
