Note
A plural that only the countable meanings of terror can take. It counts separate fears (childhood terrors), the people or things that cause them, and episodes of night terror. The mass meanings stay singular: the terribleness a story creates does not pluralize, and neither does terror used for terrorism. The terrors of a place are frightening things, not acts of violence.
