Mauritian Creole[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From French histoire.

In French, the plural word histoires is commonly preceded by a word, such as aux, les or mes, whose final s or x is not pronounced except in front of vowels, where it is pronounced /z/. As a result, histoires was reanalyzed as having /z/ at the beginning.
