Plural of adamancy; multiple instances of adamantine quality, hardness, or unyielding nature.

Etymology

From 'adamancy' + '-ies' (plural suffix). A very rare form used in archaic or highly technical philosophical discourse.

Kelly Says

This word is so rarely used that it almost exists as a theoretical possibility rather than a real word—it shows English's systematic ability to pluralize anything, even when the plural form defies practical use.
