freedoms
- 1Plural of freedom.
The constitution lists several freedoms that the government may not take away.
Activists warned that these civil freedoms were under threat.
Note
A plural that counts only what can be counted. The broad state of being free has no plural. What multiplies are particular rights and privileges, or particular constraints removed, such as the freedoms a constitution lists one by one. When you mean the condition itself, keep the singular: people fight for freedom and win specific freedoms. The plural can also name individual breaches of decorum.
