    Octopus isn’t a Latin derived word but Greek. You can’t apply Latin grammar to Greek words.

    There is no absolutely correct plural for octopus and in any respect, no grammatical rules should be prescriptivist (you must do this) but prescriptivist (people tend to do this)

      I was gonna answer that it’s both, but now I see that that’s New Latin.

      I think you meant descriptivist.
