Plural of disapproval; multiple instances of expressing or feeling that something is wrong or unacceptable.
From 'disapprove' (from 'dis-' + 'approve') + '-al' (noun suffix) + '-s' (plural). The plural emphasizes multiple separate instances of disapproval.
A person facing 'disapprovals' from family and society carries a heavy burden—the plural form adds weight and numbers, suggesting cumulative social pressure! This is much more commonly used than the singular 'disapproval' in real speech.
