Note
A plural that takes its meaning from context, since the singular covers so much ground. In everyday talk it means scheduled meetings: a calendar full of appointments, back-to-back appointments. It can equally mean people named to posts or the posts themselves, as in board appointments or a string of government appointments. In law it also names the instruments that designate who receives an estate under a power of appointment.
