Definition
A variant plural spelling of geoduck, referring to multiple large Pacific clams.
Etymology
An alternative plural formation of the word stemming from 'gweduc' or 'geoduck.' Different spellings and plural forms of this Native American loanword reflect the inconsistency in how English speakers have historically written it.
Kelly Says
The fact that 'geoduck' has so many spelling variations—geoduck, geoduc, gweduck, gweducs—shows how English was still figuring out how to write Native American words. There was no official rule, so everyone spelled it their own way!
