Degradations

/ˌdeɡrəˈdeɪʃənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of degradation; multiple instances of being lowered in rank, quality, or condition.

Etymology

Plural form of degradation, from degrade + -ation + -s, referring to multiple acts or processes of degrading.

Kelly Says

The plural form captures the repetitive nature of humiliation or environmental damage—'the degradations of war' or 'the degradations of pollution' sounds more impactful than the singular.
