Destructions

/dɪˈstrʌkʃənz/ noun

Definition

Etymology

The regular plural of 'destruction,' formed by adding '-s'. The root remains Latin 'destructus' (destroyed) from 'destruere' (to tear down).

Kelly Says

In geology, scientists actually study 'subduction zones' where 'destructions' occur as oceanic plates are recycled into Earth's mantle—this has been happening for billions of years and is essential to maintaining Earth's surface composition.
