Acts or instances of thinking deeply about something; periods of serious thought, reflection, or meditation.
From contemplation (noun formed from contemplate with -tion suffix) plus -s (plural marker). The -tion suffix creates abstract nouns from verbs, especially in Latinate words.
Medieval monks kept 'Books of Contemplations' and philosophers wrote lengthy 'Contemplations' as a literary genre—these weren't casual thoughts but structured, serious meditations on profound topics.
