Dishwashings

/ˈdɪʃˌwɒʃɪŋz/ noun

Definition

Plural of dishwashing; multiple instances or sessions of washing dishes.

Etymology

Standard plural of the gerund dishwashing, though rarely used in modern English as the activity itself is typically referred to in singular form.

Kelly Says

The rarity of this plural form reflects how 'dishwashing' functions more as an abstract, uncountable concept in everyday speech—we say 'I hate dishwashing' not 'these dishwashings'—similar to how we treat other mass activities.
