Compendia

/kəmˈpɛndiə/ noun

Definition

Plural of compendium; multiple collections of concise information about a particular subject or field.

Etymology

The plural form of compendium, following Latin pluralization patterns (where -ium becomes -ia). Compendium itself derives from Latin, meaning originally 'a saving of expense' but evolving to mean 'a condensed summary.'

Kelly Says

Compendia is the 'correct' Latin plural, which is why you'll find it in academic texts, but English speakers increasingly say 'compendiums.' This ongoing tug-of-war between Latin and English pluralization rules plays out across hundreds of words and reveals how English is slowly (and messily) naturalizing its borrowed vocabulary.
