The singular form of 'chassis' is just 'chassis'. This word, borrowed from French, retains its singular spelling even when referring to more than one. A chassis is the base frame of a vehicle or a structure; essentially the foundation that holds everything else. Just like buildings may have unique layouts but all rely on a solid foundation to prevent toppling over, different vehicles - from svelte race cars to towering semi-trucks - all depend on their respective 'chassis' for support, strength, and balance. This is one of those wonderful quirks of the English language, showing off its vast, vibrant tapestry woven from words of diverse origins.
