SUNZ/sʌnz/
- 1Plural of son.

Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, it carries every meaning of son: male children, adopted sons, protégés regarded as sons, and the figurative sense of people a place has produced. Keep the apostrophe straight in writing. The sons' inheritance belongs to several sons and the son's to one, so the plural possessive puts the apostrophe after the s.
