Plural of dilation; instances of becoming wider or larger, or the amount of expansion.
From Latin dilatatio (spreading out) + -s for plural. The -tion suffix changed the verb dilate into a noun describing the process.
In mathematics and geometry, dilations are transformations that resize shapes larger or smaller while keeping their proportions—it's how we enlarge photos without making them blurry!
