entities
- 1Plural of entity.

Note
The plural belongs to the countable meanings of entity. These are separate units such as companies and other legal bodies, items stored in a database, and spirits or bodiless alien beings. The philosophical meanings, existence considered apart from its properties or the bare state of being, name a quality rather than a thing, so they seldom take a plural. The spelling follows the familiar pattern of final y becoming -ies.
