Durions

/ˈdʊriənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of durion; multiple durian fruits or specimens of the Durio genus.

Etymology

Plural form of durion, maintaining the botanical Latin convention while adding English plural morphology with -s.

Kelly Says

The existence of 'durions' alongside 'durians' shows English's flexibility—we borrowed 'durian' directly from Malay, but sometimes created our own Latinized variants for scientific contexts.
