retirements
- 1Plural of retirement.
A wave of retirements swept through the department this spring.
Several high-profile retirements reshaped the league within a single season.
Note
The plural counts what can be counted: departures from a job (a wave of retirements), the stretches of life people spend afterward (long, comfortable retirements), and, in older English, places of quiet retreat. Seclusion as a state takes no plural. A life lived in retirement is never lived "in retirements." With numbers or words like wave, the plural almost always means departures.
