heads
word · lemma: head
Definition
Plural of 'head', the top part of the body where the brain, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are. It can also mean the side of a coin that shows a person's face.
Usage & Nuances
Most often a plural noun meaning more than one 'head'. In counting people or animals, it appears in phrases like '50 heads of cattle'. In coin-flip contexts, 'heads' contrasts with 'tails'. As a verb form ('she heads home'), that is a different grammar and usually not the main meaning here.
