Noun

statūs pl

  1. (rare) plural of status
    • 2006, Hans J. Vermeer, Luhmann’s “social systems” theory, page 16
      Analogically we who observe Luhmann’s theory have two statūs²².
      ²² The ū indicates plural: status (singular) vs. statūs (plural), and so likewise with other Latin words of the so-called u-declension, e.g. nexus vs. nexūs.

Etymology

From the Latin statūs, the nominative plural form of status ‎(“condition”, “position”, “rank”).
