shingles

shingles
Noun

When referring to roofing materials, the term describes individual tiles. In this architectural sense, the word is a standard countable noun, though it is frequently encountered in the plural to describe the collective covering of a structure.

In a medical context, the term refers to the viral infection. Despite the "s" ending, the medical condition is treated as an uncountable noun. It functions as a singular mass noun, meaning you would say "shingles is painful" rather than "shingles are painful," and it does not have a plural form in this sense.
