luxuries
- 1Plural of luxury.
The hotel promised guests every comfort, from heated pools to other luxuries rarely found in the region.
Economists noted that consumers cut back on luxuries long before reducing spending on essentials.
Note
The plural counts what the singular often leaves as a mass. Luxury can name a whole state of wealthy comfort (living in luxury), but luxuries are separate things: costly goods one could do without, or small pleasures that are simply unnecessary, like a long bath. Before another noun the singular stays, so the phrase is luxury hotels, never luxuries hotels.
