Note
A regular plural, made with a simple -s, it carries every meaning the singular has. Most often it means members of a modern senate, as in the United States or Canada. In historical writing it names the senators of ancient Rome, and older prose can stretch it to members of any parliament, the British one especially. Context, not form, tells the reader which body is meant.
