Duumviri

/djuːˈʌmvɪriː/ noun

Definition

Plural of duumvir; multiple pairs of two co-rulers or joint magistrates.

Etymology

From Latin 'duumviri,' the nominative plural of 'duumvir' (two men). This is the original Latin plural form used in historical texts.

Kelly Says

This Latin plural is a time capsule—using 'duumviri' instead of 'duumvirs' is like speaking the language of ancient Rome itself!
