Girasols

/ˈdʒɪrəsɔːlz/ noun

Definition

Plural of girasol, referring to multiple gemstones or plants, using the Anglicized plural form instead of the Italian variant.

Etymology

The Anglicized plural of 'girasol' (Spanish/French origin), formed by adding the standard English '-s' suffix rather than the Italian '-es' ending.

Kelly Says

Language is democratic: English speakers chose to pluralize girasol with a simple '-s' rather than preserving 'girasoles,' showing how foreign words gradually assimilate into English patterns.
