spendings
SaySPEN-dingz/ˈspɛndɪŋz/
- 1Plural of spending. Rare; spending is normally used as an uncountable noun.
Note
A plural that only one meaning of the noun can take. When spending names the act of spending money, or expenditure in general, it is a mass noun and stays singular: government spending rose. The plural belongs to the countable meaning, an amount spent or planned, so it suits separate outlays that are itemized and counted. The verb form, the present participle of spend, never takes an -s.
