Frenzies

/ˈfrɛnziz/ noun

Definition

Plural of frenzy; multiple instances of wild, uncontrolled excitement, activity, or emotional states.

Etymology

The standard English plural of frenzy, formed by changing the -y to -ies, a common pattern in English for pluralizing nouns ending in consonant + y.

Kelly Says

The y-to-ies rule for plurals is one of English's most reliable patterns—so many nouns follow it (baby→babies, city→cities, frenzy→frenzies) that it's one of the first rules kids learn when pluralizing.
