nonuplets
Nine born together
Nonuplets are nine offspring born from the same pregnancy.
The term follows the pattern of twins, triplets, and quadruplets, with the Latin prefix for nine.
Such births are extraordinarily rare and typically result from fertility treatments: The nonuplets were delivered by cesarean section at 30 weeks.
