Note
A regular plural, made by adding -s, that carries every meaning of the singular. Context does the sorting: receivers may be the officials who once collected taxes, people who accept stolen goods, those appointed to settle an insolvent business's affairs, or players who catch a pass or try to return a serve. Of these, only the tax-collecting sense belongs to history.
