Note
A regular plural, and a telling one, because it belongs only to the countable uses of configuration. When the word means arrangement in general, how parts sit together, it can stand uncountable with no plural at all. In the plural it names distinct, separable setups: the electron arrangements of a molecule or crystal, finite sets of points and lines, or the ways a computing environment is customized for its users.
