Is whereabouts all one word?
The final -s in whereabouts (and thereabouts) may look like a plural ending but it isn't one. The noun is derived from the adverb whereabouts, and the -s is actually an adverbial suffix. That's right: there's a suffix that looks just like the thing that makes a word plural but that actually marks it as an adverb.Mar 13, 2017
