governments

Note
A plural that only the countable uses of the word can take. It counts separate ruling bodies (European governments) or the successive administrations of one state, as when a country goes through several governments in a decade. The uncountable sense of management or control has no plural: a system can need better government, but never better governments. The ending is the regular -s.
