Note
A regular plural built on a noun that grew out of an adjective: a constitutional walk, taken for the good of one's health, shortened to a constitutional. The adjective never takes -s, so constitutionals is always the noun, as in daily or evening constitutionals. Mind the context, though: the singular is also a euphemism for an act of defecation, and the plural can carry that reading too.
