Someone left a link in a comment to a site that explores the complicated issue of the origin of the word syllabus and the related issue of what its plural form should be.
I’ll leave that subject to be debated by the English etymologists and Latinists among you. I shouldn’t have to worry in the mean time: since one course only ever has one syllabus at a time, I shouldn’t ever need to use the plural.
