Note
A regular -s plural that only the noun can take. The adjective never changes, so it is humanitarian workers and humanitarian aid, never humanitarians aid. Most often the plural means people devoted to others' welfare. More rarely it names those who hold that Christ was fully human and not divine, and historically it served as another word for humanists.
