tacticals
SayTAK-ti-kuhlz/ˈtæktɪk(ə)lz/
- 1Plural of tactical.
Note
Two quite separate nouns stand behind this plural. In formal proof work, a tactical is a combinator that joins proof tactics into larger ones. Among war reenactors, it is a private event of mock battles or skirmishes. Only context tells them apart. The adjective, as in tactical gear or a tactical retreat, takes no plural, so the -s always marks one of the nouns.
