Definition
Plural of grubworm; multiple larval insects found in soil, especially those that damage plants.
Etymology
Regular plural of 'grubworm' formed by adding -s suffix.
Kelly Says
The plural 'grubworms' reminds us that infestations were such a serious agricultural problem that farmers needed a word for the swarms of them destroying their crops!
