Convolvuluses

/kənˈvɒlvjuləsɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of convolvulus, referring to multiple individual plants or specimens of the convolvulus genus.

Etymology

From convolvulus plus the English plural suffix -es, added because the singular form ends in -s, following standard English pluralization rules.

Kelly Says

English plural suffixes tell a story—'convolvuluses' shows this is originally a Latin word that English adopted, just like we say 'cactuses' and 'platypuses' instead of purely Latin plurals!
