Enoughs

/ɪˈnʌfs/ noun

Definition

Plural form of enough when used as a noun; multiple amounts or quantities that are sufficient, adequate, or satisfactory.

Etymology

From Old English 'genoh' and Old Germanic 'ganohaz' (sufficient), with the plural '-s' added to the noun form 'enough.'

Kelly Says

While we usually say 'that's enough' (uncountable), 'enoughs' works when talking about multiple types of sufficiency—like 'I've had enoughs of different reasons to quit'—it's grammatically correct but rarely used because enough is usually abstract.
