Doolees

/duːˈliːz/ noun

Definition

Plural of doolee; multiple lightweight stretchers or platforms used in India.

Etymology

The plural form of doolee, formed by adding English '-s' to the Indian-derived noun.

Kelly Says

When English borrowed words from other languages, we immediately applied our own grammar rules—adding '-s' for plurals even when the original language might handle plurals differently, which is how 'doolees' is perfectly English despite its Hindi origin.
