discretions
Saydi-SKRESH-uhnz/dɪˈskɹɛʃənz/
- 1Plural of discretion. Rare, since discretion is usually uncountable.
Note
A plural that cuts against the grain: every meaning of discretion is usually uncountable, so the -s form appears only when the noun names something you can count. Most often that is a separate grant of authority, one power to decide and then another. Less often it is a single discreet act, such as a tactful silence. For judgment or prudence in general, keep the singular: show discretion, not discretions.
