Definition
Plural of derris; multiple derris plants or quantities of derris root used as insecticide.
Etymology
Plural of 'derris,' formed by adding '-es' to the genus noun. The pluralization reflects botanical naming conventions where genus names can be pluralized in English.
Kelly Says
In agricultural history, derris plantations were major commercial operations—farmers grew acres of these plants specifically to harvest the roots for pesticide production!
