Definition

Plural of greegree; multiple magic charms or amulets from West African tradition.

Etymology

The plural form of 'greegree,' created by adding the standard English plural suffix '-es' to the singularized West African loanword.

When English borrows words from other languages, pluralizing them shows they've been fully adopted—'greegrees' in English texts proves the word and concept became part of how English speakers understood magic and protection.
