docs
- 1Plural of doc.
The ER docs worked through the night after the highway pileup.
The legal team spent the weekend combing through thousands of docs from the merger.
Note
One plural serves a crowd of informal clippings: doctors, documents, documentaries, doctorates, even Doc Marten boots. With documents and boots the plural is the normal shape, so send me the docs sounds more natural than any talk of a single doc. The words around it do the sorting: ER docs are physicians, while docs from a merger are paperwork.
- 2Documentation, in particular the written reference material that comes with a piece of software.
The API docs say nothing about rate limits.
Before filing a bug, she searched the project's docs for the error message.

Note
The software word stands for documentation, a mass noun, yet it takes plural agreement: developers say the docs are out of date and tell a newcomer to read them. It sits easily after a word naming what is documented, as in the API docs or the project's docs, and it rarely appears in the singular in this meaning.
