Plural of emcee; multiple masters of ceremonies or hosts of events.
Plural form of emcee, derived from the phonetic pronunciation of M.C. (master of ceremonies). As the entertainment industry grew, the need for a plural form made this abbreviation into a proper noun with standard pluralization.
What's funny is that 'emcees' preserves the original pronunciation of M.C. while modern people might not realize they're literally saying the letters out loud when they use this word in conversation.
