Graciles

/ˈɡræsəlz/ noun

Definition

Plural of gracile; multiple slender or delicate things, or multiple instances of the gracilis muscle.

Etymology

From 'gracile' plus the regular English plural '-s'. In anatomy, refers to multiple gracilis muscles across different specimens or bodies.

Kelly Says

In Latin, 'gracilis' is already singular and plural form! English just adds 's' when we use Latin words, creating a hybrid that's not quite Latin anymore.
