Note
Only the countable meanings of avocado reach this plural. It counts whole fruits and trees: a crate of avocados, a grove of avocados. The fruit eaten as food stays singular (some avocado on toast). The color never pluralizes, so a kitchen painted avocado is not painted avocados, and the adjective has no plural at all. The ending is a plain -s added to the final -o.
