Corvets

/ˈkɔːrvɪts/ noun

Definition

Plural of corvet; multiple small warships or instances of a leaping horse movement.

Etymology

Regular pluralization of 'corvet' by adding 's,' maintaining naval or equestrian terminology.

Kelly Says

A corvet's name reflects naval thinking—admirals named their smallest, fastest ships after animals they admired for agility, just as fighter jets are now named after falcons and raptors.
