The -x does not make it necessarily plural. It's an adverb or adjectif to start with.
précieux , avantageux , prétentieux.
When nouned it becomes: le précieux-les précieux ( masc.) la précieuse- les précieuses (fem.)
("Les Précieuses Ridicules" by Molière)
Adj. Le docteur pretentieux - les docteur pretentieux. La femme prétentieuse - les femmes prétentieuses.( ).
True, those guys are playing with it and it can come from Graniloquent Dictionary as they are juggling with English words too in that thread.
