Note
A regular plural that adds -s at the end of the compound and leaves frame untouched: frameworks, never framesworks. It serves every meaning of the singular, from the beams that give a building its shape and the main branches of a tree to reusable code that developers build on and the systems of rules linguists use to describe a language. Only context tells these apart, since the form never changes.
