Plural of besmircher; multiple people who damage reputations or tarnish honor.
From besmircher plus the regular plural suffix -s. Standard pluralization of the agent noun.
Plurals in English are deceptively simple—we add -s to most nouns—but historically, English had multiple plural markers. Old English used -as, -an, -u, and even vowel shifts. We've regularized it so thoroughly that irregular plurals now feel exotic.
