pluralizing
Adding an S
Pluralizing is making something plural—adding an ending or changing a word to indicate more than one: English pluralizing usually involves adding -s or -es.
The term applies to both the grammatical process and the act of creating plurality more broadly: The committee is pluralizing its membership by adding voices from different backgrounds.
