Note
A plural that appears only when density is counted, not treated as a general quality. It lets several values stand side by side. Each measuring sense allows it: mass per volume, as in a table of materials; a ratio of things to space, as in population densities; and the probability densities of statistics. The spelling follows the regular rule for nouns ending in a consonant plus y.
