Heavers

/ˈhiː.vərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of heaver; multiple people or things that heave.

Etymology

From 'heaver' + '-s' (regular English plural suffix). This is the standard regular pluralization of the agent noun 'heaver.'

Kelly Says

Regular plurals with '-s' are so common we barely notice them, but they're the result of centuries of sound changes—Old English had complex plural systems that simplified into this one '-s' sound, making English much easier to learn!
