- 1Plural of measurement.

Note
A regular plural that leans toward results rather than activity. The singular can name the general process of measuring, which is not counted. Once the word is counted, it usually means individual values: figures to be compared, recorded or checked for error. Use the singular for the practice itself (accuracy in measurement) and the plural for the numbers that practice produces.
