Examens

/ɪɡˈzeɪmənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of examen; multiple examinations or inspections, especially spiritual self-examinations.

Etymology

Simple plural of examen, preserving the Latin nominative plural form -es in the English plural ending -s.

Kelly Says

Latin plurals can be tricky in English—some words like 'examen' just add -s, others transform completely (like 'alumnus' to 'alumni'), showing the messy process of Latin words settling into English grammar!
