Definition
An alternative or archaic plural spelling of calzones, the Italian baked pastry.
Etymology
A variant spelling of calzones using -oons instead of -ones, likely influenced by English pluralization patterns or regional pronunciations. This form is rarely used in modern English.
Kelly Says
This is a spelling variation that shows how borrowed words often get competing plural forms when they first enter a language—some people follow Italian rules while others anglicize them, creating temporary confusion.
