SEEZ/siːz/
- 1Plural of sea.

Note
The plural counts more than bodies of water. A sea can also be a single wave or the swell itself, so heavy seas and rough seas usually describe the surface a ship has to ride, not several oceans. Elsewhere the plural keeps its geographic sense, as in the seven seas and the high seas, where it carries a nautical or poetic ring.
