True but still refers to the fetus. The fetus also is going through the third trimester of pregnancy Consider, the mother could be aged between 18 and 45 Considering the brain is deemed to be fully formed at around 21 Gyrification is not happening to the mother through that age range Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

The fetus is NOT pregnant. It itself is IN the third trimester Perhaps this will help Another extract from gyrification The development of gyrification begins prior to birth (see Figure 1), with the early stages of gyral and sulcal formation taking place between 10 to 15 weeks of human fetal life (Chi, Dooling, & Gilles, 1977; Zilles et al., 1997). During the third trimester of fetal life, when the brain is undergoing considerable growth (Chi et al., 1977), the brain develops from a relatively smooth, lissencephalic structure to a brain that more closely resembles the morphology of the adult brain (Armstrong, Schleicher, Omran,..... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2815169/#:~:text=Gyrification is %20the%20process%20by,the%20brain%20undergoes%20considerable%20growth.

hors d'oeuvre /ôr ˈdərv/ noun plural noun: hors d'oeuvres a small savory dish, typically one served as an appetizer at the beginning of a meal. "a wine and hors d'oeuvre reception" Definitions from Oxford Languages
Interestingly the plural form in the original (French) language is " des hors d'ouevre" - so without a "s" https://www.cordial.fr/dictionnaire/definition/hors-d'oeuvre.php Not sure whether they definitely follow this rule but I imagine they do. I think the rule (in French) may apply to composite nouns like that.
Although rules can be troublesome. Correct English would be "masters of ceremony", I think - but are they plural masters of a singular ceremony?
It's the same with with terms such as "courts martial", "attorneys general" etc. It's where the term is a noun-adjective compound. In English we can talk about "lands unknown", which sounds more poetic than "unknown lands", where we put the adjective at the end, but in such cases it is the noun that is made plural, not the adjective. Hors d'oeuvre is a tad different. It literally means "outside of the work", and it really doesn't have a plural, as something is either outside of the work (or meal) or it isn't. It's a digital proposition. An hors d'oeuvre (as in appetizer) is the totality of whatever is provided, whether it consists of a single item or multiple. In English, though, it has come to mean an individual item that is served, rather than the totality. Hence we might often see it pluralised, to refer to more than one individual items that make up the appetizer course. It would be much like referring to each individual piece of an artist as an oeuvre, and thus, if consisting of more than one piece, calling his entire work oeuvres. Doesn't really make sense. But it's what the lazy English speaking countries do to words they appropriate from other languages. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Qualification: world's longest word published in an English dictionary. It is also often discounted, though, for being coined solely to achieve the title of longest English word. There are far, far, far, far, faaar longer words once you include all the chemical words out there. For example, the longest I'm aware of is 189,819 letters long and takes around 3-4 hours to pronounce. It's the full chemical name for the protein titin. That said, lexicographers discount such words for being formulae rather than words, although some might argue that that is splitting hairs. According to my brief research... There's a word in the Philippines that's 59-letters that has a legitimate and sensible meaning: "Pinakanakakapagngitngitngitngitang-pagsisinungasinungalingan" meaning "lying that causes the most extreme anger". However, the longest published actual word (i.e. not including chemical formulae) was back in around 400 BC, in a play by Aristophanes, which came in at 171 letters (or 180 or so when translated into English). It was a fictitious word at the time, one such as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but given that the latter is now considered a word, I can't see why the former wouldn't be. In Germany there's "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" which means "law for regulating the labelling of beef", but has since been dropped when the EU dropped the need for the law. In Iceland, another country to go big on compound words, there's the 64-letter "Vaðlaheiðarvegavinnuverkfærageymsluskúraútidyralyklakippuhringur" , meaning the unsurprisingly uncommon "a keychain ring for the outdoor key to a road worker’s shed in a moor called Vaðlaheið." Welsh also has a name of a town that is 51 letters. But if you want to stick to English dictionaries, then yeah, your word does it. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
