Fanons

/ˈfænənz/ noun

Plural of fanon; multiple capes or vestments worn in ceremonies, or multiple fan-created accepted theories or stories.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'fanon' by adding '-s'. The word maintains the same multiple meanings in both religious and fandom contexts.

Kelly Says

The plural 'fanons' shows how the same word can travel between completely different worlds—medieval churches and modern internet fan communities—because both developed the need to name something similar (unofficial additions to official doctrine).
