1 meaning of traumas

Practice

  1. 1
    noun
    Plural of trauma.

    The therapist helped him work through the traumas of his childhood.

    Repeated traumas left lasting scars on the survivors.

    Note

    The plural only appears when trauma is being counted: separate injuries, separate emotional wounds, separate distressing events. Each of those meanings also works as an uncountable noun. "She suffered trauma" names a condition, while "she suffered several traumas" names distinct blows. The regular English -s plural is the everyday form; the Greek-style traumata survives mainly in some medical and academic writing.
