Note
A plural that turns free time into something you can count. Leisure works both as a mass noun for the state of being free from duties (a life of leisure) and as a count noun. The plural belongs to the count use. It names separate pastimes or separate stretches of ease, as in expensive leisures or small leisures, rather than the freedom itself.
