Note
Only the countable side of tradition has a plural. The singular can name inherited practice in general (a people steeped in tradition), but the plural counts separate customs: family traditions, wedding traditions, the traditions of a craft or school. The same spelling once also belonged to an obsolete verb meaning "to hand down" (she traditions, they tradition). In modern English it is simply the noun.
