Etymology: "Registrants" is the plural of "registrant", the noun for someone who has formally enrolled or signed up for a course or a specified activity. The plural simply follows the regular English pattern of adding an "s" to the singular form, so the word carries no separate history of its own. Its meaning rests on the singular "registrant", which is built from the familiar "register" with the agent suffix "-ant", as in "assistant" or "applicant", denoting the person who performs the action.
