- 1Plural of ritual.
The temple preserves ancient rituals that date back centuries.
Athletes often rely on pre-game rituals to settle their nerves.
Note
Only the countable noun has this plural: it counts separate ceremonies or habits, as in morning rituals or ancient rituals. When the singular works as a mass noun (a service heavy with ritual), it takes no plural. The adjective never takes one either: a ritual sacrifice becomes ritual sacrifices, never rituals sacrifices, because only the noun inflects.
