easts
SayEESTS/iːsts/
- 1Plural of east.
Note
A plural that appears only when one east is not enough. As a compass direction the word resists counting, so the plural turns up in technical and literary writing that must tell bearings or regions apart. A church supplies a natural pair: its east is wherever the altar and chancel stand, and that need not match the compass. The regular -s ending is all the form requires.
