portions
- 1Plural of portion.
The restaurant is known for serving generous portions at a fair price.
Large portions of the estate were sold off to pay the family's debts.
Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular: servings on a plate, separated parts of a whole, and the inheritances or dowries settled on several heirs. The same spelling also belongs to the verb meaning 'to divide into amounts' (the cook portions the rice). Here the noun is the one in use, so look for an article or adjective in front of it, as in generous portions.
