Remove the apparatuses to singular form

Answers

Answer:

In English, the plural of apparatus is apparatus or apparatuses.

Latin words such as apparatus and status are nouns of the fourth declension; their plural form in English generally adds an -es.

This is different from Latin nouns of the second declension, such as fungus and alumnus, which pluralize by replacing the -us with an -i — fungi and alumni.

For some nouns of the second declension, such as campus, the Latin plural has been lost altogether. In those cases, English pluralizes with an -es.

We generally don’t hear the word apparatuses in English, probably because it sounds incorrect to our ears. Most of the time we avoid the plural by making the word a semi-countable noun: one apparatus, two pieces of apparatus.

In case you were wondering, apparati is incorrect, both in English and in Latin.
