Linguistic Note on Tableau
The word tableau originates from the French language, where it means array, display, or table (in the sense of data presentation).
Hence the plural form of tableau is tableaux, although the US generally uses tableaus.
Tableaux is the preferred form on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
