Debits

/ˈdɛbɪts/ noun

Definition

Plural of debit; multiple charges or subtractions recorded against an account or financial statement.

Etymology

From 'debit' (from Latin 'debitus'), with the regular plural '-s' suffix. This is a standard plural formation.

Kelly Says

Your bank statement's list of debits is literally a list of 'things owed' going back to Latin—finance vocabulary is astonishingly conservative because money and trust require precise, unchanging language!
