The plural of cardamum, the Latinized form of cardamom, used in classical, medieval, or scientific contexts.
From Latin 'cardamum' (itself from Greek 'kardamon'), this plural adds the Latin '-s' ending, showing how the spice's name was used in academic and medical writing.
If you read a 500-year-old medical text written in Latin, you'd see 'cardamums' listed as a cure for digestion—the same spice that costs money at the grocery store was once considered powerful medicine.
