Term
The term is often used in police work when discussing crime and addressing the methods employed by the perpetrators. It is also used in criminal profiling,[2] where it can help in finding clues to the offender's psychology.[3] It largely consists of examining the actions used by the individual(s) to execute the crime, prevent its detection and/or facilitate escape.[1] A suspect's modus operandi can assist in their identification, apprehension, or repression, and can also be used to determine links between crimes.[4]
In business, modus operandi is used to describe a firm's preferred means of doing business and interacting with other firms.
Plural
The plural is modi operandi. The word operandi is a gerundium in the genitive case, "of operating"; gerundia can never be pluralised in Latin, as opposed to gerundiva. When a noun with an attribute in the genitive is pluralised, only the head noun normally changes, just as in English with "of": "a fact of life, two facts of life".
