Etymology

From French anneau. In French, the plural word anneaux 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, anneaux was reanalyzed in Seychellois Creole as beginning with /z/.

Noun

zanno

earring
