Plural of bequest; multiple gifts or properties left to people in a will.
From Old English becwethan, but bequest is a Middle English back-formation from bequeathe. The -s creates the plural, and this is the most common form for referring to the actual gifts.
Bequest is actually the 'cooler' word everyone uses instead of bequeathal—it's shorter and sounds more natural, which explains why bequests is way more common in real wills and legal documents than any other form.
