Garlics

/ˈɡɑːrlɪks/ noun

Definition

The plural form of garlic; multiple garlic bulbs or plants.

Etymology

Regular English plural formation from garlic, adding -s. Garlic itself comes from Old English gārlēac combining 'spear' and 'leek.'

Kelly Says

English borrowed so much from other languages that our most basic vocabulary—like garlic from Germanic roots—seems ancient, yet garlics as a plural is still only about 1,000 years old in written English.
