The plural form of chador; multiple long fabric garments worn as described above.
Simply the plural of chador, formed by adding the standard English plural suffix -s to the Persian loanword.
The plural chadors reflects how English absorbs words from other languages and makes them grammatically its own—a perfect example of how English is fundamentally a hybrid language constantly borrowing from others.
English plural of chador; subject to the same Orientalist and colonialist framings applied to singular and other linguistic variants of this garment.
Use neutrally and contextually. Avoid aggregating wearers into a monolithic group; respect individual choice and cultural specificity.
