Plural of continuum; a continuous range or sequence in which distinct elements can't be separated.
Latin plural form of 'continuum.' Modern English often uses 'continuums' instead, but 'continuua' preserves the original Latin plural from the word's coining.
Scientists love the concept of continua—light and color form a continuum (there's no hard line where red stops and orange starts), and the gender spectrum is another modern example of thinking in continuua rather than categories.
