The plural of chlamys; multiple ancient Greek cloaks or mantle-like garments.
From Greek khlamus (χλαμύς), plural chlamydes (χλαμύδες). This follows Greek plural formation patterns from the classical period.
Greek plurals often look completely different from the singular—if you only knew 'chlamys,' you'd never guess the plural is 'chlamydes'!
