Chryslers

/ˈkrɪzlərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of chrysler; a type of golden-colored object, or more commonly, a brand name for Chrysler automobiles.

Etymology

Likely from chrysos (gold, via chrysler) or more probably from the proper name Chrysler (founded by Walter P. Chrysler in 1925). The lowercase usage is less common than the capitalized brand name.

Kelly Says

The Chrysler automobile company was named after its founder, but chrysler as a word doesn't really exist in standard dictionaries except as a proper noun—sometimes product brands become so big we forget they came from a person's name!
