Is there any appropriate use of the singular throe?

In: Grammar, Plural Nouns [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, throes is a plural noun. It has no singular form.

Although it is usually seen as the plural throes, there is no reason why the singular throe, meaning a pang of pain or a paroxysm cannot be used.
