idea's
Belonging to thought
Idea's is the possessive form of idea, indicating something belongs to or originates from an idea: The idea's appeal faded quickly.
It also contracts "idea is" or "idea has": That idea's been tried before.
Context distinguishes these uses.
The apostrophe is sometimes mistakenly added to the simple plural ideas.
