Person (word)
From Teflpedia
Person (/ˈpɜ:(r)ˌsən/) is an English noun.[1] meaning a human.
It is unusual insofar as it has both a regular plural "persons,” which is generally used in Legal English and highly formal English, and seemingly uniquely for English, also a suppletive plural “people.”
The /r/ will not typically be pronounced in non‑rhotic accents.
Derived from Latin, it is a cognate with French personne (f), Spanish persona, etc. It’s also a cognate with German "(die) Person,” Dutch persoon, etc.
It’s also a doublet with "parson" and "persona.”
