Plural of dux; multiple leaders, commanders, or top-ranking students.
From dux + -es (English plural of Latin-origin nouns). Dux comes from Latin 'dux,' meaning leader.
Saying 'duxes' instead of the Latin plural 'duces' shows how English adapted Latin words—we prefer our simple -es ending over Roman grammar rules!
