reputations
- 1Plural of reputation.
The investigation tarnished the reputations of three senior executives.
Universities guard their reputations carefully when ranking systems shift.
Note
The plural belongs to the countable use of reputation, where each person or institution has a standing of its own: the reputations of three executives, two rival firms' reputations. When reputation means standing in general, as in reputation matters, it has no plural. A quick check: if you are counting the holders, the plural fits; if you mean the quality itself, keep the singular.
