Plural form of gecko, an alternative spelling to 'geckos' for the small climbing lizards.
From Portuguese 'geco' and Malay 'gekoq', this plural uses the Greek/Latin '-oes' ending rather than the simpler '-os', reflecting European spelling conventions.
The plural debate—'geckos' vs 'geckoes'—shows how English borrowed a word from multiple languages and couldn't quite decide how to pluralize it, much like we do with 'octopus/octopuses/octopi'!
