Note
The plural picks out the countable side of fantasy: separate imagined scenarios, daydreams, or works of the genre, as in two fantasies on the shelf. The faculty itself, a mind given to fantasy, stays singular. The same spelling can also belong to the literary verb fantasy, meaning to imagine (she fantasies a different life), which is a close cousin of fantasize.
