wunderkind/wunderkinder
In the German this takes the new form in the plural, but it English I believe it just takes the s, wunderkinds, just like in one kind or many kinds. Kindergarten was co-opted directly from the German so that doesn't support the -er suffix.
Hmm...does that make kindergartners a redundant plural?
