Commutations

/ˌkɒmjuːˈteɪʃənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of commutation; multiple instances of exchanging, substituting, or switching electric current directions.

Etymology

Standard English plural formed by adding -s to commutation, which itself derives from Latin commutatio.

Kelly Says

The plural form reminds us that governors grant commutations regularly—sometimes dozens in a single announcement—which is actually a modern echo of legal mercy traditions going back centuries.
