From 'Halloween,' a contraction of 'All Hallows' Eve' (the evening before All Saints' Day), with the -s plural suffix creating the plural form.

Kelly Says

Halloween has become so commercialized globally that different countries now have their own 'halloweens' with different traditions—the Irish version barely resembles the American candy-focused version.
