Note
An ordinary -s plural that carries every noun meaning of topic with it. Most often it names subjects of discussion. Online it can mean discussion threads, in software the messaging components that several subscribers read from, and in music the signs that suggest a style or genre. Two meanings survive only in old texts: topics as arguments or reasons, and as plasters, blisters and other remedies applied externally.
