2. (plural noun): measles spots (takes a plural verb)

[edit]
2. (plural noun): the spots that are characteristic of measles (takes a plural verb) 

Yet, the note "(takes a plural verb)" is redundant because the label "(plural noun)" implies plural verbal agreement. --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:28, 17 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

measles: (obsolete) plural of the worm measle

[edit]
