Decagrams

/ˈdɛkəɡræmz/ noun

Definition

The plural form of decagram; multiple units of ten grams each.

Etymology

Simple plural of decagram, formed by adding -s. The word combines the Greek elements deca- and gram with standard English pluralization.

Kelly Says

Just like with decagons, the simple 's' transforms one unit into many, but this shows how mathematical and scientific language in English borrows from other languages while following English grammar rules!
