Question: What is the plural form of "status"?

Answer: 
In Latin, the nominative plural of *[status](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/status#Latin)* as a 4th declension noun is *statūs*. This would be uncomfortable in English, and so the English plural is *statuses*.

The Latin adjective has a different masculine nominative plural of *statī*, but then means something more like the English *static*.
I always though that *status* should not be used as plural, but I notice that *statuses* is reported from the CoCA in sentences like:

> 
> Young people across a wide range of socio-economic statuses increasingly value choosing their own spouses, and individual choice [...].  
> 
>  [...], but those with higher threat statuses need even more conservation.  
> 
>  Certain references were also made about specific types of sexual activity including individuals' virginity statuses.
> 
> 
> 

*Statuses* is used in academic context, with a frequency of 192 (compared with a frequency of 3 and 4 in magazines and newspapers).
