/ˈkæsɪsɪz/ noun

Definition

Etymology

Standard English plural of cassis (Latin/French origin). The plural preserves the form of the singular while adding the regular English -es ending.

Kelly Says

Unlike many food words that have unusual plurals, cassis simply adds -es, showing how modern English gradually standardizes borrowed words from romance languages.
