Formule

/ˈfɔːmjuli/ noun

Definition

An alternate or archaic plural of formula; multiple formulas, formulations, or set expressions.

Etymology

From Latin 'formulae' (plural of formula). This is the classical Latin plural form, occasionally used in English, especially in scientific or academic Latin contexts.

Kelly Says

Scientists sometimes use 'formule' when writing in Latin or when being deliberately classical—it's a linguistic nod to the ancient Romans who first systemized knowledge into formulas.
