amendments
- 1Plural of amendment.
Lawmakers proposed dozens of amendments before the bill reached its final vote.
The contract's later amendments clarified each party's obligations.
Note
A plural that only the countable uses can take. Each change proposed to a bill or motion counts as one, so lawmakers deal in amendments. In US usage, each addition to the Constitution is likewise counted singly. The uncountable sense of moral reformation, the bettering of a life by quitting vices, works like a mass noun and keeps to the singular: one speaks of amendment, not amendments.
