one of those words that is always plural, like trousers.

Never stayed in a hotel room with a trouser press?


Adjectival form.


Pardon? If you are saying that trouser is an adjective, then I'm

trous, trouser, trousest.


Sure it's an adjective. It modifies the word "press", telling you what
kind of a press it is.
