Stairs is the plural form of the noun stair, which is "a single riser or platform raised either above or dropped below the plane of the surrounding surface". As it is unusual for a single stair to be used, the plural is also used as a collective noun to refer to the entire collection of individual risers that are placed sequentially to allow a person to access a raised or depressed area, such as a basement or second story.
