count noun  (also countable noun) noun GrammarA noun that can form a plural and, in the singular, can be used with the indefinite article (e.g. books, a book). Contrasted with mass noun.It's been a long time since I even noticed uses of troop as a count noun meaning ‘soldier’....- For fear of this, they want to forestall the conversion of certain proper noun trademarks into common count nouns.
