remedys

Remedys is a term that can function as a nonstandard plural form of remedy, or as a proper noun in branding and fiction. In standard English, the plural of remedy is remedies. The form remedys is therefore uncommon and sometimes read as a typographical variant or a deliberate branding choice.

Etymology and usage: English plurals typically add -ies after a consonant, yielding remedies from remedy. The form remedys preserves the base -y and adds -s, which diverges from conventional spelling. Practically, remedys appears most often in marketing, where a company might choose it for distinctive branding, or in creative writing for stylistic effect.

Contexts: As branding, Remedys could denote a product line or company name, and in fiction it may name an organization, device, or concept related to healing. Because it is not standard, readers should treat remedys as a proper noun only when capitalized and clearly defined within the text.

Editorial note: When writing about remedies in general, use remedies. If quoting a brand or title, preserve the authorship's capitalization and spelling. See also remedies.
