foldings
SayFOHL-dingzUS/ˈfoʊldɪŋz/UK/ˈfəʊldɪŋz/
- 1Plural of folding. Rare; folds is the usual word.
Note
Only the noun takes this plural. The adjective, as in a folding chair, never does. The -s form suits countable uses, where each fold is a separate thing: the foldings of a draped skirt, or the foldings of rock strata. When the word names a process instead, such as the slow buckling of the Earth's crust or code folding in an editor, it can stay singular as a mass noun.
