classifieds

This term is a shortened form of classified advertisements. It refers to the specific section of a publication where ads are organized by category rather than by the advertiser's identity. While traditionally associated with print newspapers, the term is now used extensively for digital marketplaces and online listing sites.

Grammatically, this word is a plural-only noun (plurale tantum). It does not have a singular form in this context; one would refer to a single entry as a classified ad rather than a classified.
