*The plural form “syllabuses” sounds silly, but as the OED confirms, the origin of the term “syllabus” comes to us in English through a corrupted transcription of the Greek term “σίττυβας” (“sittybas”, a little tag on the end of a scroll with a list) into Latin by Cicero. So, it’s arguably not a proper Latin term, and should not be pluralized as “syllabi”, just as the term “octopus” should be pluralized as “octopuses” or “octopodes”, but never “octopi”. Thanks for Robin Smith for showing me this.
