Gazabos

/ɡæzəˈboʊz/ noun

Definition

Another plural form of gazabo, referring to multiple open-sided roofed garden structures.

Etymology

Same origin as gazaboes—a variant spelling of gazebos, from the 18th-century Anglo-Indian invention of the term gazebo.

Kelly Says

The existence of both 'gazaboes' and 'gazabos' shows how English plurals used to be less standardized, with '-oes' and '-os' endings competing even for the same word.
