Plural of gentrice; multiple women of gentle or noble birth (archaic or obsolete form).
Regular plural of 'gentrice,' adding '-s' or '-es.' This represents the standard English pluralization of the older French-derived feminine form 'gentrice.'
By looking at obsolete plurals like 'gentrices,' we can actually trace how English borrowed from French but then developed competing terms—'gentrice' and 'gentlewoman' both existed, but one path won and the other became invisible, like evolutionary dead ends.
