The correct plural of ignoramus is ignoramuses. This may sound odd, considering the word is from Latin, leading one to think the plural ought to be ‘ignorami’. However, it was never a noun in Latin, only a verb, meaning literally ‘we do not know’, and the English word derives from the name of a character in George Ruggle’s play ignoramus (1615), a satirical comedy exposing lawyers’ ignorance.
