Emenders

/ɪˈmɛndərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of emender; multiple people who correct or improve texts.

Etymology

Standard English pluralization of emender by adding -s, allowing reference to groups of people engaged in correction work.

Kelly Says

The best emenders in history were often anonymous—we know medieval monks corrected texts but rarely know their names, so they were the invisible architects of what we read today.
