SORDZ/sɔɹdz/UKSAWDZ/sɔːdz/
- 1Plural of sword.
The museum displayed dozens of medieval swords behind thick glass.
Both fencers saluted before their swords clashed in the opening exchange.
Note
The plural is regular, but it covers more than weapons. In certain playing-card decks, particularly Spanish and Italian ones and those used for divination, swords is the name of a whole suit: one card is a sword, and the suit is swords, much as one speaks of hearts or spades. Weavers have their own swords too: the end bars that suspend the lay of a hand loom.
