Flaneurs

/flænˈɜːrz/ noun

Definition

Plural of flaneur; multiple people who practice the art of aimless urban wandering.

Etymology

French plural of 'flâneur,' preserving the French masculine plural form when adopted into English.

Kelly Says

The plural 'flaneurs' stayed French in English because it sounds more sophisticated, similar to how we say 'connoisseurs' instead of 'connoissers.'
