Etymologies

from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License

From scenario, the terminal o having been replaced with an i to form its plural, as per the Italian -o-i pattern for forming plurals, by analogy with concerti and virtuosi. However, the plural of the Italian word scenario is scenari, making “scenarii” etymologically inconsistent.
