Etymology
This is the plural form of 'der Arzt' (doctor). The vowel 'a' takes an umlaut ('ä'), a frequent pattern for plurals in German.
Memory Tips
To remember the plural, focus on the vowel shift from 'a' in Arzt to 'ä' in Ärzte. Think of it as needing more 'air' (Ä-sound) to talk about multiple doctors.
