Eringos

/ɪˈrɪŋɡoʊz/ noun

Definition

Alternative plural of eringo; plants or candied preparations of sea holly.

Etymology

Variant plural form of eringo (from Spanish erizo). Both 'eringoes' and 'eringos' are used as English plurals.

Kelly Says

English is weird with plurals—the same plant can be 'eringoes' or 'eringos,' and both are correct because English borrowed the word from Spanish!
