Note
A plural that only exists where recovery can be counted. Every meaning of the singular works two ways: as a mass noun for the process (on the road to recovery) and as a count noun for single instances. Recoveries belongs to the second use: separate rebounds after a slump, sums of debt reclaimed, a fencer's returns to guard after each attack. The spelling follows the usual consonant-plus-y rule.
