Note
Only the countable side of the noun shows up in this form. Every meaning of adjustment can be counted or treated as a mass, but the plural names separate instances: several adjustments to a machine, the adjustments on an insurance claim, the adjustments that settle an account. When the meaning is the ongoing process of adapting, as in her adjustment to city life, English keeps the singular.
