custodies
SayKUS-tuh-deez/ˈkʌstədiz/
- 1Plural of custody.
Note
A plural the base noun seldom needs. Custody is usually uncountable, whether it means the legal right to care for a child, the safekeeping of someone else's property, or detention before trial. The plural counts separate arrangements, one per case. Only the Franciscan meaning is naturally countable: there a custody is a district under a custos in the Order of Friars Minor, so several districts are several custodies.
