    Note

    Spelling does the grammatical work here. Hyphenated or closed up as cutoffs, the word is a noun, and its plural takes the -s at the end of the whole compound: water cut-offs, never cuts-off. Written as two separate words, cut off is the verb behind it, as when a storm cuts off the power or a creditor cuts off a supply.
