Chays

/tʃeɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of chay; multiple cups of tea or multiple light carriages.

Etymology

Regular plural of 'chay.' The singular has dual meanings: from Hindi चाय (chāy) for tea, and from French chaise for a type of carriage.

Kelly Says

The word 'chays' is a neat time capsule of colonial-era life in India—British officers would order 'chays' meaning both the tea they drank and the carriages they rode in, all with the same word.
