externals

/ɛkstˈɜnəlz/ noun

plural of external

Word Origin Externals is the plural of external, from Latin exterus 'outward, foreign' — so it's the outward things, the surface appearances rather than inner substance. The root ex- 'out of' is the core, giving us exterior (more outward), extreme (outermost), and extraneous (from outside). The breakdown extern+al+s shows the adjective turned noun for 'outward things'.
