noncount
No plural form
Noncount describes nouns that cannot be counted individually and therefore don't take plural forms or indefinite articles: water, information, furniture, advice.
You can have some water or much information, but not *a water or *three furnitures.
Many nouns shift between count and noncount depending on meaning: coffee is noncount as a substance but count when ordering two coffees.
