Plural of brevity; multiple instances or examples of shortness, conciseness, or brief duration.
From Latin 'brevitas' (shortness, from 'brevis'). The English noun 'brevity' emerged in the 15th century, with the plural following standard rules.
Shakespeare famously wrote 'brevity is the soul of wit'—but he said that in a full sonnet, so even the Bard sometimes missed his own lesson about brevities!
