southwests
sowth-WESTS/saʊθˈwɛsts/
- 1Plural of southwest.
Note
Only the compass-point noun can be counted, so only it takes this plural. The adjective (a southwest wind) and the adverb (sail southwest) never inflect, and neither has comparative forms. The plural is uncommon because the word usually names one direction or region. It turns up when separate readings are counted, as when instruments or logs disagree about where southwest lies.
