Deniers

/dɪˈnaɪərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of denier; multiple people who deny things, or units of measurement for thread weight.

Etymology

Simply the plural form of 'denier', applicable to both the personal meaning (people) and the textile meaning (measurements).

Kelly Says

The term 'climate change deniers' has made 'deniers' a politically charged word—but the textile meaning quietly persists, with hosiery packages still labeled in deniers despite its feudal coin origins.
