Graciosos

/ɡræsiˈoʊsoʊz/ noun

Definition

Plural of gracioso; multiple comic characters or witty servants in Spanish literature or theater.

Etymology

From 'gracioso' plus the Spanish plural '-s'. When borrowed into English, the Spanish plural form is sometimes retained for authenticity in literary or historical contexts.

Kelly Says

English borrowed this Spanish word and its plural form—you might see both 'graciosos' and the anglicized 'graciosos' used in discussions of Golden Age Spanish theater!
