Multiple processes or instances of absorbing and incorporating new things; plural of assimilation.
Plural form of 'assimilation,' from Latin 'assimilatio.' The concept broadened from purely biological usage to social and cultural contexts by the 19th century.
In linguistics, 'assimilations' happen constantly—sounds in words become similar to neighboring sounds, which is why 'want to' becomes 'wanna' naturally in speech; your mouth is literally taking the lazy route of assimilations!
