Etymology: "Ringtosses" is simply the plural of "ringtoss," the name of a game in which players throw rings, usually at pegs or bottles. The noun is a compound of "ring" and "toss," two plain English words, and the combined form describes the game in the most literal way possible. Because the base term is the compound, the plural is formed in the regular way by adding "-es," as in other nouns ending in a sibilant sound.
