Note
The regular English plural, formed with -es as for any noun ending in -s. It covers the countable senses: gifted people, and the guardian spirits of places or persons in Roman belief. For those spirits the Latin plural genii also survives. The uncountable senses (extraordinary mental capacity, the creative leap itself) take no plural: a person has genius, not geniuses. Neither does the informal adjective, as in a genius idea.
