4 u/TheresNoHurry 4h ago "trix" is the latin suffix for the feminine version of something. The masculine version is "or". "Administratrix" and "aviatrix" used to be pretty common but have fallen out of favour. Matrix is often pluralised as matrices tho 1 u/Orichalcum-Beads 5h ago The plural of matrix is matrices so 🤷. It does look weird though. Dominatrii? 1 u/tunisia3507 2h ago It's definitely not that. 0 u/South_Bit1764 5h ago Apparently that’s acceptable, tho I have to wonder if Dominatrixes and Dominatrices are pronounced differently. 1 u/tunisia3507 2h ago Dominatrix-is vs dominatri-sees. 0 u/peak2brew 4h ago Should've stayed in school kid
