Is "escurreplato" a word?

Question

I was playing a word search game, and the word to find is "escurreplato." Is that even a word?

Answer 1

compound nouns (lavaplatos, sacapuntoas, abrelatas, etc.) use the singular form of the verb+ the plural form of the noun. So your word would likely be escurreplatos.

escurreplatos.

1. m. Mueble usado junto a los fregaderos para poner a escurrir las vasijas fregadas.
