Delators

/dɪˈleɪtərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of delator; multiple people who inform against or accuse others.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'delator,' using English '-s' suffix on the Latin-derived singular.

Kelly Says

Historical records show delators often targeted wealthy people or political enemies, making accusations stick more easily because judges assumed money meant guilt—a disturbing bias that persists.
