harassments
Sayhuh-RAS-muhnts/həˈɹæs.mənts/
- 1Plural of harassment.
The complaint listed a series of harassments stretching back two years.
Investigators documented numerous harassments by the same individual.
Note
The plural only makes sense where the noun is counted. Harassment often names conduct in general, as in a policy against harassment, but it can also be counted, and the plural picks out separate incidents: a series of harassments, each one dated. Military writing uses it too, for the repeated small raids that wear an enemy down. When no counting is meant, keep to the singular.
