I understand that the above word is Greek and not Latin, however I am trying to find what the correct singular form of the word: "Anthousai"
I have tried using wiktionary but to no avail.

I don't think there's a direct translation for this, but the closest thing I guess would be Flos Nympha.
However, This may not be entirely accurate because Nympha is grammatically not an adjective.
Even though an "Anthousai" is a Female Flower Nymph, I don't think there's a feminine version of the word Flos,
So this is definitely tricky to translate...

Dantius is correct, I am mainly looking for the correct singular form of the Greek word: Anthousai. I do apologize if I posted my thread in the wrong forum as it has been quite a while since my last post.
No problem, I've moved it to the Ancient Greek subforum.
Do you happen to know what the correct Greek singular would be for Anthousai, Bestiola?
Could I please ask where did you find that word? I've found one slightly dubious site which claims it's singular form is "Anthousa": http://greekmythology.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Anthousa
This looks more promising:

But I hope someone more versed in Greek will jump in since I'm a Latin student, and Greek is too Greek for me.
I found it on Wikipedia as the collective noun for flower nymphs and I believe the same word is used in my other mythological creatures books.
Thank you for your help.
