Plural of frisson; multiple instances of delightful shivers or emotional thrills.
The plural form of French frisson, used in English when discussing multiple moments of excitement or spine-tingling sensation. English borrowed the singular and simply applied standard plural rules.
When we borrow words from French, we don't always keep their French plurals (we say 'restaurants' not 'restaurans')—but 'frissons' works because English speakers feel it's a fancy, special word deserving the French treatment, much like we say 'chateaux' instead of 'chateaus'!
