rulings
SayROO-lingz/ˈɹulɪŋz/
- 1Plural of ruling.
The court issued two major rulings on privacy this term.
Lawyers cited earlier rulings to support their argument.
Note
Only one of ruling's three roles can take an -s: the noun for an order or decision on a point of law from someone in authority. The adjective (the ruling party, a ruling passion) and the present participle of rule (she was ruling the country) never pluralize. So rulings always names decisions, such as a court's rulings or conflicting rulings, and counts like any ordinary noun.
