Conspectuses

/kənˈspɛktəsɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of conspectus; multiple briefs summaries or overviews.

Etymology

Regular English plural of conspectus, formed by adding -es. Latin words often form English plurals by adopting English rules rather than classical Latin rules.

Kelly Says

Interestingly, 'conspectuses' is the English plural, even though classical Latin would use 'conspectus' as both singular and plural—English 'borrows' Latin words and then treats them as regular English nouns with -es plurals.
