syndromes
- 1Plural of syndrome.

Researchers compared two syndromes that share overlapping signs but distinct causes.
Note
A regular plural, formed with a plain -s, so it needs no special care in spelling or agreement. It carries both uses of syndrome. One is the clinical pattern of signs and symptoms that marks a condition. The other is the looser set of traits that identifies a type, usually an unwelcome one. Context tells you which is meant: a neurologist's syndromes are diagnoses, while a commentator's may be habits of mind.
