executions
- 1Plural of execution.
Public executions once drew large crowds to the town square.
The judges praised the gymnast for her clean executions of each difficult move.
Note
A plural that counts separate acts, where the singular can resist counting. Execution as manner or style can work as a mass noun (her execution was flawless); the plural turns it into individual performances, as in clean executions of each move. In law the plural counts distinct acts too: executions of wills, judgments or contracts, and, in an archaic use, seizures of a debtor's goods for unpaid debt.
