Gingellies

/ˈdʒɪndʒəliz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of gingelly; multiple sesame plants or quantities of sesame seeds and their products.

Etymology

Kelly Says

If you collected all the spelling variants of sesame in English colonial texts—gingeli, gingelly, gingeley—you'd have fascinating proof of how language standardization happens through commerce and repeated use.
