Bumblings

/ˈbʌmbəlɪŋz/ noun

Definition

Plural of bumbling; multiple clumsy or disorganized actions or instances of moving clumsily.

Etymology

From the gerund/present participle 'bumbling' (the act of moving clumsily) plus the plural suffix '-s'.

Kelly Says

When you pluralize a gerund like 'bumblings,' you're treating confused actions as countable events—useful for describing a series of mishaps like 'the customer's bumblings through the store.'
