restorations
- 1Plural of restoration.
The committee approved budgets for three separate building restorations this fall.
Careful restorations of the frescoes revealed colors hidden for centuries.
Note
A plural that only works where restoration can be counted. Separate repair jobs, finished results such as dental restorations (dental prostheses), or repeated returns of a monarch to power all take it. The general process stays singular: a fresco in need of restoration, not restorations. The capitalized Restoration names one event, the return of the monarchies under Charles II in 1660, so it has no plural.
