Duellos

/duˈɛloʊz/ noun

Definition

Plural of duello; multiple formal dueling systems or instances of ritualized combat.

Etymology

Standard English plural of duello, formed by adding the -s suffix to the Italian loanword.

Kelly Says

You rarely see 'duellos' in English because dueling was outlawed or died out, so we don't need a plural form much—it's a word stuck in historical amber, like 'blacksmith's tools' when nobody's blacksmithing anymore.
