Cupellers

/ˈkjuːpələrz/ noun

Definition

British plural form of cupeller; multiple metalworkers skilled in cupellation using the British spelling convention.

Etymology

British English plural of cupeller, maintaining the double 'l' from the singular form before adding the standard plural '-s'.

Kelly Says

Preserving the double 'l' through the plural—'cupellers' not 'cupelers'—shows how spelling conventions snowball through grammar, creating consistent but arbitrary differences between English-speaking communities.
