deckers

Buses with floors

Deckers appears almost exclusively in compounds indicating the number of levels in a structure.

A double-decker bus has two passenger levels; a triple-decker sandwich has three layers of bread.

On its own, deckers is rare, but the pattern is productive: Those triple-deckers are hard to eat without making a mess.
