Plural of congress: multiple formal assemblies, legislative bodies, or meetings of representatives.
From congress (Latin congressus) + -es (plural marker). The plural form has been used since congress became a standard English word in the 17th century.
The U.S. Congress is singular, but we talk about 'congresses' when comparing different countries' parliaments or different historical legislative sessions over time.
