insignias
Symbols of authority
Insignias is the plural of insignia, referring to badges, emblems, or distinguishing marks of rank, office, or membership: The general's insignias gleamed on his uniform.
Insignia itself is already Latin plural (singular: insigne), so insignias represents English treating insignia as singular and adding its own plural—a common pattern with borrowed words.
