Practice

  1. 1
    noundated
    Plural of vertigo. Dated; attacks or spells of vertigo is the usual wording.
    Note

    An older way of making vertigo plural, now dated: the -oes ending follows the pattern of potatoes and heroes. Today's writers usually choose vertigos, or avoid the plural altogether, since vertigo mostly works as an uncountable noun (she suffers from vertigo). When a plural is genuinely needed, it counts separate episodes, such as repeated spells of dizziness over weeks.
