Note
A regular plural built on an agent noun: freelance plus -er, then the ordinary -s. It carries both meanings of the singular. Usually it names people who freelance, but in talk about organizations it can also mean people who act outside the chain of command and standard operating procedures. The first describes how someone is employed, the second how someone behaves, so context decides which is meant.
