satisfactions
- 1Plural of satisfaction.
Among the satisfactions of teaching, watching a student finally understand ranks highest.
The novel catalogs the quiet satisfactions and disappointments of a long marriage.
Note
The plural belongs to the countable side of satisfaction. It names separate fulfilments, or the things that supply them, as in the satisfactions of teaching or of a long marriage. The uncountable use, contentment in general, stays in the singular. Reparation and vindication are countable too, so satisfactions can also mean amends: the redress made, or demanded, for separate wrongs.
