Canzones

/kænˈzoʊnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of canzone; multiple Italian or Provençal songs or poems.

Etymology

Simply the plural form of canzone, formed by adding the standard English plural suffix -es to the Italian noun.

Kelly Says

English borrowed this plural directly from Italian rather than using just 'canzones,' showing how some foreign words keep their original plurals when they enter artistic and literary contexts.
