Is boycott an uncountable noun?

[Tamahome]

my friend who is studying english asked me a question about articles specifically about the usage of a/an...then she showed me some article and asked me why that certain phrase used "a" in it...here`s what it says:
"____________(i forgot the word,sorry) is the opposite of a boycott."
she asked why we put "a" after boycott. Is it possible to use "a" after an uncountable noun? If the first word is countable and the second is uncountable we can use "a"
or if the first word is countable and the second is not we can`tuse "a".

i myself got confuse and i couldn`t seem to figure out how to explain it to her.
please help me.
thank you very much.

What makes you think that the noun 'boycott' is uncountable?

By the way, the opposite of 'boycott' could be 'support' which is uncountable.

The boycott is a countable noun so we can say for exp: " a boycott of the local election"
