Plural form meaning multiple instances or qualities of being sour, bitter, harsh, or sharp in manner.
From 'acerbity' (noun) + '-ies' (plural suffix). Comes from Latin 'acerbitas' meaning sourness or harshness of disposition.
The plural form shows how one sharp comment is harsh, but multiple sharp comments create a pattern—language lets us describe the difference!
