Brutisms

/ˈbruːtɪzəmz/ noun

Definition

Plural of brutism; multiple instances or types of tooth-grinding conditions.

Etymology

Standard plural of the obsolete medical term brutism.

Kelly Says

You won't find this in modern medical texts—the field adopted 'bruxism' as the standard term, and older plurals like 'brutisms' quietly disappeared from usage.
