Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, and it serves every noun use of outer at once. On a target, an outer is both the fourth circle, outside the inner and magpie, and a shot that strikes it, so a scorer's outers are hits on that ring. Elsewhere the same plural counts uncovered stadium seating, a wholesaler's smallest boxed unit, or people who admit to something publicly.
