Etymology: "Cardamons" is the plural of "cardamon," a variant spelling of "cardamom," the aromatic seed spice. The plural form simply refers to multiple seeds or pods of the spice, so the word's origin is that of "cardamom" itself. The standard spelling is "cardamoms," and the form "cardamons" appears as a misspelling of that plural.
