Note
A plural that usually counts made things: devices, methods and ideas someone has thought up. Music gives it a second home, since a short, self-contained composition is also an invention. The best-known plural is the title of J.S. Bach's Two- and Three-part Inventions. An older meaning, 'discovery' or 'finding out', is archaic. Read a plural in old writing with that meaning in mind.
