moles
SayMOHLZUS/molz/UK/məʊlz/
- 1Plural of mole.
Several moles had ruined the neat lawn by morning.
The dermatologist photographed her moles to track any changes.
Note
A plain -s plural that serves every meaning of mole at once: spots on the skin, the burrowing insectivores and the rodents called mole-rats, spies planted inside an organization, and the excavators and unlined clay drains of field work. Nothing in the form tells them apart, so the surrounding words must. A dermatologist examines moles, a ruined lawn points to the animals, and a farmer cuts moles through clay subsoil with a mole plow.
