Confiders

/kənˈfaɪdərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of confider; multiple people who tell their secrets to others.

Etymology

Regular plural of confider, formed by adding -s. Maintains the same Latin root fidere (to trust) through the chain: confide → confider → confiders.

Kelly Says

This plural form is almost never used in practice—we'd say 'people who confide' instead—which shows how some grammatically regular words fade out because they sound awkward even though they're technically correct.
