Note
Only the noun can take this ending. Individual is also an adjective (an individual portion), but English adjectives never mark number, so the -s form is always the noun. It carries every noun use with it: people taken one at a time, natural persons as distinct from corporations in law, members of a statistical population, or objects set against the classes they belong to.
