Plural of compunction; multiple feelings of guilt, regret, or hesitation.
Standard English plural formation of 'compunction'. While the singular can be used as a mass noun ('without compunction'), the plural emphasizes distinct instances or types of guilty feelings.
The plural form is interesting because it suggests that guilt isn't monolithic—you might have one compunction about lying but a completely different one about social rudeness, showing our moral consciences are multifaceted.
