- 1Plural of tribute.
Mourners placed floral tributes along the route of the procession.
The conquered cities sent annual tributes to the empire's capital.
Note
The plural appears only where tribute is counted. Every meaning of the singular works both as a mass noun and as a count noun. So the idiom pay tribute to someone stays singular, while separate acts or payments take the -s: floral tributes at a graveside, the yearly tributes a vassal or a conquered nation owed. The same plural covers homages in art, protection money and a miner's share of ore.
